Jim, You are exxpressing an opinion. That you choos to describe
your opinion as accurate, then I guess it follows that you think
(know) that my opinion on the matter is innacurate.

Innacurate is a present day euphemism for lying.


It's a shame that words are being distorted to mean something that
they were not to mean. If inaccurate is a euphemism for lying, what
are we now going to use to take the place the original meaning of
inaccurate?


Language morphs all the time. Innacurate isn't even a new morph. It's
been used by politicians for years to say "lying" without saying lying.
I can use the word quite correctly. I was a little concerned when the
word accurate was used in the expression of an opinion. Opinions don't
have to be accurate. So when my opinions are decried as innacurate, I
start to wonder.
