A prominent linguist has declared that our use of the English language in today's world is "all wrong."
"The words and their meanings are all mixed up. What we say means something completely different than what we think it does," he lamented.

Whoever said that is wrong. Unless, perhaps, they are correct.

The man doth lament too much. He'll be complaining that 'crossword clues need deciphering' next. When were words anything other than signposts pointing roughly in the direction of something that may or may not be lurking in the fog somewhere?
