I know I use words incorrectly occasionally but that won't stop me from getting irritated by others doing so. For this forum in particular, I wish someone would use the word "anti-social" correctly. It does not mean introverted, shy, or afraid of social situations. It describes a personality disorder that consists of impulsive, aggressive behavior with little or no regard for the well being of others. Criminal behavior is pretty much synonymous with anti-social behavior. This is quite different from the visions of Trekkies that I think most people wrongly think of when they use the word.
