I work in language as a profession. Not as a professor, but as someone who makes his living making bad writers' writing understandable. There is purpose in definition, and the people who deal in meaning as a trade care enough to pay to convey the meaning they intend. We have words because they have a use. Someone's mistakenly using a glass cutter to try to install a screen doesn't mean we get rid of glass cutters. It means we teach people how to use them.


As a language professional, under what circumstances would you advise have you advised someone to use the word "niggardly" over various alternatives in order to make their point more clearly?
