The Grammar Nazi


"Drinkability."  

Wow, what a concept.  Does anyone actually know what this newly coined noun means? Obviously the creation of some enterprising ad writer, looking to win over a new alcoholic beverage client. Taste good? Does it hit the spot? It doesn't have to be good, it just has to be bought. It's the old question: How to sell suds. What'll ya have, Bud?

Happy tipsy Tuesday.
  
How about "watchability" or "hearability"?  

She's got terrific watchability!  

New flat-screen watchability!  That new hit single's just filled with "hearability"!  

These coinages are just wonderful. Pure trashy conceits. They give me a headache.

  1. I don't know why drinkability works better than watchability, but it does.

    It's somehow very amusing, while watchability isn't so amusing.

    But I can't put my finger on why this is so.

    But I like your grammar Nazi posts, in general.

  2. Alright, I, like, totally hear you! I mean, that post has total hearability. I'll have to keep an eye on this blog because it's watchability is, like, major.
