We've all got these peeves; the one that gets me is 'isomorphic'. But language evolves one annoying incorrectness at a time, and it's tedious and off-topic to vent about this every single time it comes up. (I'm not saying that to you personally but in response to all these subthreads.)


Sure, but it's fundamentally wrong. The only upside is that it's catchy.

It's tiresome to point it out from time to time but if I go to a bar and each time I say Jeronimo and each time I get slapped and explained that they don't like it that there, after a while I'll stop and just ask for a beer like normal people do :)


I doubt that that model applies here.
