[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 389781, member: 27"] In the same vein we have the mis-use of the word "unique". I think people are trying to say something is "distinctive"---that is, something out of the ordinary---but instead we get oddities like "That's the most unique painting I've ever seen" or "That's too unique for her tastes." An item is either unique or it is not ("uni" is even in the word). It's like saying "I'm more pregnant than you are". [/QUOTE]
