From StoneHome

This is a list of resources I find important and long, drawn-out complaints I have regarding current language usage. These tend to some of the more obvious indiscretions in current use: "ironic," "decimate," "translucent," and so forth. There are a spattering of longer diatribes here and there, however, pretending to justify this section as something worth having been read, when in fact it is not. This category is best read in conjunction with fallacy, and often relates to many members of rants.
