Some of it is natural: words change according to usage. Still, some of it is laziness, and some of it, as in the drift of the term "enlightened", is at least deeply ironic, and reflects a decadent change in the culture, I think.

------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Your opponents are going to pick apart your words when there is nothing else to pick at IMHO.

GHOUGHPHTHEIGHTTEEAU If GH can stand for P as in Hiccough If OUGH stands for O as in Dough If PHTH stands for T as in Phthisis If EIGH stands for A as in Neighbour If TTE stands for T as in Gazette If EAU stands for O as in Plateau The right way to spell POTATO should be: GHOUGHPHTHEIGHTTEEAU <ggg>
