I don't really know how I could hate a word, but I can assure you I've got no beef with the word "spirit". I don't see what pneumonia has to do with the concept of a spirit other than entymology.

You'll have to forgive my shitty spelling, I'm at work through a clunky proxy with no spellcheck.

My stance is that the concept of spirit is an outdated one. A couple hundred years ago it was a great way of explaining life, especially with regards to religion. We've simply moved on, and have better words with more meaning.
