--- Quote from: cuchulann on July 28, 2008, 10:15:33 PM ---I would not call your usage uncommon. I would call it incorrect. By calling somthing remedial you state that it is a corrective act, as opposed to being in need of one. Much like i could not call my typing skill remedial since it doesn't actually help with anything. More appropriately it is baneful.

So then what HeLL said makes absolutely no sense:
--- Quote from: HeLLMasteRHeLL on July 24, 2008, 09:14:20 PM ---For the people in which I would ATTEMPT to play with have always been, and always will be, remedial.
--- End quote ---
Well, it doesn't make much sense anyway: "For the people in which I would ATTEMPT to play with"
Seriously, "in which"? Are you saying when you attempt to play with people it's from inside them?

Seems like my attempt to avoid has been in vain...
Yes HeLL's use of the word is wrong, but so are a billion or so other uses of words in English these days. No wonder non-English speakers say that English is the hardest language to learn. Harder than Danish, now that's HARD!
