Default Sickening naked misuse

Now that title got your attention!

Naked does not mean nude. It can do, but it has a broader and more general application. A lot of the posts here might better use nude instead. Not that that is really sickening; just a little annoying.

Here is one that does make me vomit. Disinterested. It does not mean uninterested! The meanings are not even close. There is no overlap. In fact, disinterested is partly opposite in meaning to uninterested, because you can't really be disinterested without having some interest.

(OK, so I have not seen disinterested in a post at getdare. But it is everwhere else. Even reporters misuse it for god's sake. Shouldn't they know better?).

* Starts to rave about regular and decimate too, but froths at the mouth too much. Falls off soapbox *
