Working Title: Let\'s call it Karma: From YKTTW


Antheia: I see a couple of problems with the following list item from the description:

First of all, well... it isn't really clear how No Good Deed Goes Unpunished is a case of Call It Karma, since it doesn't necessarily call anything "karma". The word is used once in the article (and a few times in the examples), yes, but that's easily remedied. Also, please note that Self Explanatory redirects to Not Self Explanatory; it really is better to explain things.

Vree: Like I said in the Karma article, the tone of the articles is rather patronizing. I don't mind it in the case of Karma, since that is about the original meaning of the word; but this one's for the modern meaning and if the author of the article does not acknowledge that the meaning of a word can drastically change as it is transferred to the colloquial language then it is he who Did Not Do The Research. Just look at the various "Our X Is Different" articles; they can do it without complaining that we do not use the word for the same concept that it used to mean before. I suggest a bit of rewrite.
