Healthy versus Healthful: The problem is that some people insist that you cant say your salad is healthy; you have to say its healthful because only healthful can mean conducive to good health. The thinking is that only a living thing can be healthyif were in good health, you and I can describe ourselves as healthy. Healthy is a personal characteristic, but things that are dead, things we consume, arent healthy anymore. If theyre good for us, theyre healthful. Heres a joke from an 1895 usage guide that played on this kind of thinking: The physician implied precise English, when, to the inquiry whether oysters were "healthy at certain seasons, he replied, "I have never heard one complain of an ache or an ail. That was the thinking in the 1800s when usage and etiquette writers railed against healthy and recommended healthful or wholesome. (Of course these were the same people who said you should call a womans garment a gown instead of a dress.) Healthy has long been used to describe things that improve your constitution. The Oxford English Dictionary shows that healthy has been used to mean healthful or wholesome since the 1500s. Yet, the rule makers railed against healthy in the 1800s, and it was in a battle against healthful for dominance for many years. Ultimately, though, people voted for a healthy diet instead of a healthful diet. http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/edu...y-or-healthful > |

However, what that means is not eating like a glutton, but having the appetite of a healthy person, as opposed to the weak appetite of a sick person. The dictionary informs me that--informally--"healthy" can denote "considerable in size or amount", such as "a healthy glug of vodka in a pitcher of orange juice". It's odd that Sheldon would suddenly use the informal definition, when throughout this thread he's been a stickler for what he believes to be correct usage. Cindy Hamilton |

The only group of people I have ever heard say 'healthfully' or healthful has been Americans and possibly Canadians.

It is even odder that he is such a stickler about an antiquated usage. As explained in the article I cited, he is about 100 years out of date. Meanwhile, the "yowse" he so often uses has never been acceptable. |

On the other hand, it's actually a comparatively easy language to learn enough to get by. I think its inconsistencies and contradictions give native speakers the intuition to parse badly mangled English. Cindy Hamilton |

Fercocktah is a transliteration of the Yiddish for crapped up, and since it's a transliteration there are as many correct English spellings as those who use the woid... remember Yiddish is not written with English letters and pronunciation is different. http://www.bubbygram.com/yiddishglossary.htm Farcockt: All crapped up. (see Alta Kocker) "It used to be a nice neighborhood, but now it's all farcockt." As an adjective, it's "farcockteh." "This is a farcockteh neighborhood."
