Word Entry

   New words enter our language all the time,and that's accepted and necessary.  But I sometimes wonder how old standard words take on a new connotation.  For instance, the word "grab" is now used in ways not heard before.  "My car is in the shop so if you're going to the meeting tonight could you grab me on your way?"   "The storm is coming so I'm going to the market to grab some groceries."  It's a favorite expression on the shopping channels:  "We're having a sale on QVC so be sure to grab those shoes now."  It used to be considered bad manners to grab anything, but the times they are a-changin'.
