Opinions: By definition, there are no divas

I've been reading my dictionary again, mostly because I noticed the other day that we seem to be fascinated with big words, mysterious phrases and acronyms. Actually, it's the words themselves that seem to interest us most, because we hear so many people using them without knowing exactly what they mean.
For example, let's take one that's cropping up more and more these days: "ergonomic," which is usually found in phrases like "ergonomically designed."

This little beauty can be found in ad after ad, and it's applied to everything from chairs to telephones, from tools to remote controls. And it's never defined, just stuck in there because it's such an attractive word, one that sounds as though the person using it is highly educated, or has special knowledge on the subject. It sounds so exotic, yet almost familiar, that we let it slide by because we feel that even if we don't really know its meaning, we should, but we're a little embarrassed to ask.

But what does "ergonomic" really mean?

Well, mysterious as it sounds, it turns out that we've been doing it all along. My dictionary says that "ergonomic" merely means "to suit the specific purpose." (Via Kansan.com)
