Right, then

[gothwalk]

There is no central authority for the English language. Therefore, I'm claiming it. I am now IT as far as English is concerned. You have queries on English, come to me, and I'll ignore most of them. This is mostly because I'm taking on this authority with two things in mind, and one footnote.

First and foremost, the word 'fail', and all its variants, are now, hereby and forever, excised from English. They no longer exist.

Second, the pseudo-word 'meh' is likewise sentenced to destruction. It is returned to being a nonsense syllable, carrying no meaning. It did not have far to go.

Footnote: 'Bleah' is on a last warning.

Carry on, then.

The word fail? Don't you mean the sentence/response fail? Or do you propose people saying "I unpassed my driving test?"

Anyway, I've had it on good authority that fail is so 2008, and only the terribly unfashionable will be using it in 2009. So you can rest easy.
