| Sep 19, 2012 at 3:09 | comment | added | user21497 | "Outsize" is also a problem: one of those illiteracies that passes for normal (it should be "outsized" to be a real past participial adjective). Consider "Success for Downsized Workers?" (title of a PDF on the Net) and "Success for Downsize Workers?". Eventually, "cherry-picked" will turn into the faux adjective "cherrypick", as in "small, cherrypick facts that support outsize claims". Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are incapable of forming such opinions.

But "the globe over" is tricky: it's a faintly pretentious way of saying "over the globe", which is itself a faintly pretentious way of saying "around the world". | |
