Favourable stigmatised forms #1 (permalink) Tue Jul 15, 2008 17:53 pm   Favourable stigmatised forms
 

Are you favourably disposed to any, so called, stigmatised forms, and do you use them in your written and/or spoken English fairly regularly? If so, which forms are you favourably disposed to and in which contexts do you use them?

I am favorably disposed to many stigmatized forms, as you describe it, and I use them with relative frequency in my speech and writing, usually for effect, or when an expression doesn't sound right without them.

Asking me to list them is a tall order, and I don't feel like doing it.
