A friend told me off a few years ago for using the word (adjectively) too much in my blog. Looking back at some columns I used to write for BBC online, I was using the word far too much at the time – my editor should have picked me up on it.

The old argument with the friend arose again recently. I wish I’d seen this post beforehand, as I was adamantly labouring under the same misconception. I stand corrected now – though I still don’t like to see it used as a noun. Ugh.
