From an ad I keep seeing in my FB feed. "Nanoscience is driving a major sea change in electronics." Is it possible to have a minor sea change? Isn't a sea change by definition major? "No man but a blockhead ever wrote except for money." Samuel Johnson. | ||

Oh, sorry. A sea change IS by definition major, unless someone says it's not. Prescriptivist Geoff says it is. | |||

I see "sea change" as major as well - a 180 degree change in whatever is changing. | |||
