Critic Fail - Mark S. Allen

Recent TV ad for The Hangover:



Um . . . no . . . probably not. But it looks like Ben Lyons may have competition for the "Stupidest thing ever said about a movie" award.

Can you please refrain from using "fail" as a noun? I like this blog, and I don't want to see it go that direction.

According to Miriam-Webster, fail is a noun and has been so since the 13th Century: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/fail%5B2%5D

More importantly, a language is a living, breathing entity. It is not decided by the OED or the Queen, but by ordinary people in the words and phrases that they use as a part of their lives. A few years ago, "blog" wasn't a word either, but its regular use has made it so.
