Regarding “niggardly,” the complaints about that word only demonstrate what I sometimes like to call the new illiteracy. I work at a university, and one time I was at a faculty senate meeting when someone used the word properly. One of the faculty members sitting nearby me almost went ballistic, and I thought, how sad, this is a university and many members of the faculty don’t have a clue what the word means or what its origins are.
