Nice to see that "kewl" made it in too. Now you'll have me and probably a lot of others checking on what right to say in the OED.

Great presentation at Lotusphere, and a packed room too. You'll see that I enhanced VitalSigns again based on an idea I got while sitting in the audience of your presentation, and I gave you credit for it in my blog.

"Farbadoot" isn't taken, is it? That's the unpopped corn in the bottom of the microwaved popcorn bag. Been that way as long as I can remember.

The OED acknowledges that the use of "premise" as you've seen it may be shifting:

b. In pl. In extended use. A house or building together with its grounds, outhouses, etc., esp. a building or part of a building that houses a business. Now also occas. with sing. concord.

It's the last sentence.

If I had to harbor a guess, I'd say maybe this is something that's become acceptable only in a specific context -- in this case, business. "On-premise" is acceptable in this context, but "we're on the school premise" is certainly still not.

That being said, sometimes language does just evolve into general use in ways that are irritating and seem inaccurate. Take, for example, my personal pet peeve, "literally":

lit·er·al·ly/ˈlitərəlē/

Adverb:

1. In a literal manner or sense; exactly: "the driver took it literally when asked to go straight over the traffic circle".

2. Used to acknowledge that something is not literally true but is used for emphasis or to express strong feeling.

I mean, really, #2? That is just stupid. But there it is.

Finally, there are current grammar debates raging about the discontinued use of "whom" and about using "they" as a gender-neutral singular pronoun. Maybe not in our lifetimes....but maybe in my kids', those could shift.

This is probably more than you bargained for, but that's what you get for asking. Your other child who actually studies linguistics may have a different take as well.

Grammatically thine,

I wonder if this will turn out to be one of those cases where if it's used often enough it will become an accepted way of using the term.

I sure hope not.

Bill O’Brien, a Senior Vice President and General Manager of On-Premise at Coke, defined on-premise sales as packages under a liter in size intended for immediate on-site consumption. This expansive definition embraces the broad range of areas that Coke appears in, from sports arenas to chain restaurants, schools and amusement parks.

Shouldn't he be the General Manager of On-Premises at Coke?
