I'd prefer sorrow, thanks.

I'm not sure when the transition occurred, perhaps during the "Feminist Movement", but this culture began to use the word 'feel' when the more appropriate word ought to be 'think'.
We hear it now constantly from news commentators, in everyday commentary, and in our dialogue by virtually everyone.
.
"I feel that I ought to go to the grocery store."
"How do you feel about how our country has changed in the last 6 years."
"Don't you feel like it's time to change the oil in your Porsche?"
.
A motorcycle owner on this Pelican site (BMW R1100S Forum) once typed, "How do you think your engine feels when you go that long w/o changing oil?"
I about fell off my chair - it was hilarious, I thought. But the rider was dead serious...and the thread continued w/o missing a beat.
.
It's rampant in our society - pay attention and you'll notice it.
