Hey, Americans ...

[blamebrampton]

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 ...

Not American but when I IM with Kes (who is American) and say something like "that's just so cliché" she always corrects me that it's clichéd. *shrugs*

That's because Kes is a Great Human Being. And you're allowed to say the odd thing wackily ;-)

Of course is. :) But no, I am not allowed. Or else, I'll make the same mistake in fic and that's unforgivable. >:[
