"envisage"
You mean to say envision, you stupid cunts. A vision is a good thing. You envision a grand strategy for your company, or a brighter tomorrow. You don't want to 'envisage' anything. Corpses have visages. Visages leer at you from the windows of haunted houses. You fucking prats.

Lunaran, stop eviscerating the situation, you're only making things worse.

Earlier you were arguing that 'Messenge' was a word. Not that this invalidates your arguement against 'blog', but you should really pick your fights here.

I know your just trying to illicit discussion here, but most of us could care less about this sort of thing.
I don't know if you're trying to infer something, but were suppose to be relaxing on this cite, and for all intensive purposes, the only affect this sort of post has is to levee your own baggage onto others.
Irregardless, try complements instead. Its the principal of the thing.

There's Nothing Wrong With 'envisage'

It was stolen honestly from the French a few centuries ago (from 'envisager'), and it's just fine. Whine about something else.
P.S. Blog is a word now. Get used to it.

Those are misuses of words and phrases as opposed to raging against a perfectly valid word. But funny nonetheless.

It would have been better if he had swapped all of his you're/your usage and threw in a 'teh' here and there. Just a tip for next time, loosers!

Verifying what is and isn't a word is pretty easy.

The whole shit about what is and isn't a valid word is garbage. If someone makes up a word, it's a valid word. Period. That's all there is to it. It doesn't need to be in the dictionary to be valid. The spoken language is pretty fluid like that.
Fo' shizzle.
Portal: Prelude

A pretty professionally made Portal mod taking place some time before the original game. You have to play through 19 test chambers and eventually get to witness the activision of GLaDOS. It even has bonus maps and a developer commentary (in French).
Unfortunately, I found most of the puzzles to be incredibly hard and annoying (some seemed to border on pixelhunting) and eventually ended up noclipping through most of the maps. This is clearly something aimed at the hardcore Portal players.
Whatever

If enough people use the wrong word, it's no longer the wrong word. Perhaps that has happened to 'orientate', but I don't think a link to answers.com establishes that.
I wouldn't use it on my resume.
Zwiffle: spoken language is fluid, but people are going to think you are a complete moron if you use poor English in formal writing.
