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.

Dangerous to get us going on a grammar thread, as evidenced above!
Clichés and clichéd for me.

But again, I found a grammar-nerds site which in the end concluded that that battle was lost, in the New World anyway. Which is actually a supermarket chain here.
I'm a hold-out though - I refuse to use disinterested for not interested - and it's not just because my false teeth make the sibilants harder to say these days. ;)
