Eni's good-natured rant of the month

Subject:
per se

per se
By or in itself (himself, herself, themselves); intrinsically, essentially; without reference to anything (or any one) else.



It is teh Latin-magic, not an originally English word. It is NOT spelled "persay" or "per say", and most definitely not "pursay". Every time I see the "word" persay, I cringe most horribly. Please, please, please, it's per se.

Thank you, world. *steps down from soapbox*

ETA: This is a general point I've been meaning to make for months now, and I only made it today because I happened to be in the mood.
