Hey, Americans ...

Do you ever use forms of cliché other than plain old cliché? Such as clichéd or clichés? I see it used in a manner that I would consider wrong so often that I am wondering if it is one of those wacky idioms that English develops up all around the world. Or it could just be young people today with their emo music and Twittering ...

Canadian of the younger generation, and "clichéd" and "clichés" both sound right to me. I suppose I'll have to punish myself now by retaking French.

Hee! I'm a Canadian of a slightly older generation and both sound right to me too.

However, I shall not be retaking French. :P
