I have been hearing a lot about redemption of late...on TV, in the news, etc.
In the words of Inigo Montoya, "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means."
Top three definitions from the OED:
1. Deliverance from sin and damnation, esp. by the atonement of Christ; salvation.
2. The action of freeing a prisoner, captive, or slave by payment; the fact of being freed in this way. Also occas.: the payment itself.
3. Expiation or atonement for a crime, sin, or offence; release from punishment.
So please redeem yourselves and quit overusing it?
