A Purist

In regards to Savings Wretches Like You and Me, (See Part I & II, Monday, January 7 -Tuesday January 8, 2008) KMHD writes ... "I agree with MD. We have no right to change the language to suit our own likes and dislikes. John Newton used the word "wretch" because he truly felt he was one. I am a purist when it comes to language and hate to see words in the English language morph into words that mean the total opposite. History and language go together. If we change the language to suit our needs, we change history and lose the truth."
