Grammar Gripes

Since when did "overwhelm" become a noun? Did I miss that day of school or something? I always thought that you could "be overwhelmed" or find something "overwhelming" ... but now I read all over about Mr. So and So who is dealing with "feelings of overwhelm." I think it sounds silly. Not that anyone died and made me the grammar police or anything...

  2. Poetic license taken too far. It won't pass me (and I *am* the grammar police, just ask my husband)!
