Quote:
However, have a look at Shakespeare and how the language has changed since his day. If we think the new stuff is wrong we have to accept that what we consider correct is wronger - it's neither wicked or wicked. The Bard got there first so anything after is bad (That's bad bad, not good bad). ....But what about before Shakespeare?

Amusing thread.
If I'd had the opportunity to go to university (we's po' folks) - I'd have studied philology, German, and English literature(but probably played guitar all day and night). English, like it's people is such a wondrously mongrel language. It is a an Indo-European West Germanic language with influences from just about every source - Greek, Latin, Celtic, Norse, and latterly borrows heavily from our former Empire dominions. I was once told (in a class somewhere) that if yu stayed in the same place and moved back 200 years, You'd still understand/be understood. With the change in our society, and technology, I think about fifty years would have so many changes that you would be unintelligible. I live about 60 miles away from where I was born and bred, and can no longer understand the English spoken in that area, although they can understand me. Dropping an item for your product line is a lazy way of saying discontinued, and has negative implications. Dropping a CD implies that it was "layed" as a chicken does to an egg.

Afterthunk :
Why can't American say AL-UM-IN-IUM properly? Why do guitars in the USA have to be "accilmated" instead of acclimatised?

Drop is another way to say release. It actually makes sense because in order to physically drop something, you have to release it. Think of it like delivering a surprising document to someone at their desk. You've probably seen in the movies where the person will drop it on the desk. The implication is "here's something new and intriguing."

The original slang was "dropping" a baby. It makes sense from that point of view.
