On Fight Breast Cancer, Drink Wine... Get Breast Cancer

I was at an annoying legal writing seminar last week, there was a quiz: Pluralize "money" Monies, right? Pssh, if you want to use a frowned upon variant. Mr. Bryan Garner does not: Moneys

On Man Uses Word Frequently, Incorrectly

If one of the accepted definitions of "denote" is "to make known : announce," and "denote" can "serve as a linguistic expression of the notion of : mean" then doesn't "denote" work for some of the examples Tapper highlights?

"I simply denoted [made known] that we were pleased and the President has been pleased that progress has been made"
