For those who make as little effort as I do to keep up w/changing slang, & who also join me in mostly avoiding a certain music genre, note that "OGs" derives from "Original Gangsters." See https://t.co/En8WGV3Vly for meaning/etymology.

Most people are sheep when it comes to making endorsements, but @SteveKingIA doesn’t do what he’s “supposed to.” He votes his conscience and that’s why I respect him. Steve King was America First before it was cool. The likes of Steve King & Pat Buchanan were the OGs. He doesn’t back down from a fight and he certainly doesn’t bow to the Establishment. Grateful for his endorsement. Next up #shocktheworld on Jan. 15
@FionaDiomond Aye, but he's not their King!
He refuses to swear allegiance as King of Scots, so... yet again #EnglishUsage

Forget the topic itself, but what do you think of the grammar in the @ETimesTV headline? Does it make sense? #EnglishUsage
Have recently seen multiple references to ppl calling OUT sick. I’ve always said calling IN sick. Is this regional? New? I grew up in TX, now live in KS. Do you call in sick? Or out? #Englishusage #idioms

@bbctms @MichaelVaughan I haven't caught up on this yet. But I suspect you mean "historical". #EnglishUsage
I've realised that when someone says, "Tell me about it," what they really mean is, "Let me tell you about it." #EnglishUsage

I personally find DavidGSmith to be one of the most ‘snobbish’ people on this thread, closely followed by Charlie.
Can you recall how rude he was to Andy about his #EnglishUsage?
I was genuinely shocked by his illiberal snobbishness.
@edwardahall @BCDreyer So true. Once as a child and junior dictionary reader, I had my essay corrected by an English teacher, who substituted 'forward'' for my
#froward (meaning perverse, unruly or ungovernable).
I didn't have the heart to correct her in turn.

“Nip it in the butt”? How rude! No, that’s not what we say, or not what we’re supposed to say. @eabrewster’s “eggcorn” series continues, for those flummoxed by #EnglishUsage. @MerriamWebster https://t.co/cMHr2ZDK4L
Why does the #English #word "#actress" exist anymore? Not sure I've ever used it in a blog post -- I hope not. There's no more need for "actress" over "#actor" than for "#scientess" rather than "#scientist". #EnglishUsage #language https://t.co/dBiEk0SybA
What’s an “intensive purpose”? @MerriamWebster’s @eabrewster continues her #EnglishUsage guides for the perplexed. #Words #Language #Video https://t.co/iGmsmAqyzj
Especially vs. Specially
To stress on exceptional quality, use especial or especially.
He did especially well in national games.

Compare to vs. Compare with
Use compare with to illustrate the differences a comparison draws
Ann has a 3.5 GPA, compared with Jim's 2.9
Use compare to when you intend to simply assert that two things are alike

Rates for vs. Rates of
When "rates" means price charged, it should be followed by "for" instead of "of"
When rate is used as a standard of measure, it should be followed by "of" instead of "for"
