Is "Ovenable" a Word?
Date: October 19, 2006
You hear the English Language being misused a lot these days. Here's another fine example and I just have to wonder if it is a word.
Our English language is regularly abused, contorted, screwed up, etc. I was cleaning out my freezer and found this package and had to do a double take. Ovenable? Is Ovenable an actual word? I just typed it into a MS Word document and it isn't according to its glossary/spelling database.
Another one I hate - irregardless. That is a double negative...I once knew a lady who was very intelligent, but she kept saying irregardless and that drove me nuts (short drive, I know).
Then there are strange phrases that are redundant like "Free Gift." Isn't it implied that if I'm getting a gift, it's free?
