What's happened to you is something I like to call "Samatization." Basically your vocabulary is morphing to match Sam's. It's happening to me too. It's happening to all of us.

A year ago, I never used the words "rules" "ruling" "gah" or "suck". Samatization has changed all that. Now my vocabulary has broadened! I can say GAH!, even in all-caps like I did just now! That just RULES so much it's beyond my comprehension! But what really s- s- s- GAH, stinks is that I still can't bring myself to actually use the word "suck" in a sentence. The standards I was raised by are just too difficult to overcome.
