Yup. Words mean what Brian thinks they mean and ONLY what he thinks they mean.
What a horrible world to live in.

Good thing we never fought a war on poverty or a war on drugs. The grammar police would have the whole country in lock-down.

The War On Want people are notorious for not carrying bazookas.

Not what I Want.
Of course you don’t. If people wanted want, there would be no need for a war on want, because we’d be in want of want. But since no one wants want, we want the war on want, which is the wanted way to be in want of want.

If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.
