This is an interesting article about two separate studies on language evolution with respect to frequency of usage of words.

You and I share a love of linguistics. And also, cheap fluzies.

Jonathan, you know how you can only ever say one catch phrase correctly? It's wrong! The original phrase is "windmills do not work that way". I actually like our phrasing better. Maybe on day you'll find a catch phrase you can correctly state. Hey, you could always go with "get bent".

Then apparently, I've chosen to modify and evolve that saying to fit my personality..."That's not how windmills work."
