Take back the language!

"Linquistic Liberationists" Dan Gillmor and Dave Weinberger have launched a new project to "build a collective lexicon that 'the people' believe have been hijacked. Anyone is free to contribute." The site is called Word Pirates. (Note: this is separate and distinct from today's exhortation to Talk Like a Pirate!) Anyway, it looks like one of those serious things couched in a fun concept. Sample word/phrase submission: "at this time" (and the amplified form "at this point in time"). What the hell's wrong with "now?"
