Are you really disinterested?
Use this word at your own risk. If what you want to say is “lacking in interest” then brace yourself, because there’s an army of people who will point out that it should be “uninterested”, and that “disinterested” must mean “impartial”. They are sticklers for what they regard as the correct meaning, and have taken up columnist William Safire’s command to “rear up and rage, rage against the dying of an enlightening distinction”. The problem is that if a word is more frequently used to mean one thing than another, then that’s effectively what it means: you can’t fight a linguistic consensus. The news for pedants gets worse, however. The OED tells us that the use of “disinterested” to mean not interested or unconcerned has been around since at least the 17th century, used by no less a stylist than the poet John Donne.
The Waitangi swindle
In 1840, the British government and more than 500 local chiefs signed a bilingual agreement that made New Zealand a colony. English missionaries had translated the draft of the Treaty of Waitangi into Maori but the two versions had important differences. The New Zealand Ministry of Culture explains that “in Maori it gave Queen Victoria governance [kawanatanga] over the land, while in English it gave her sovereignty over the land, which is a stronger term”. The English text also assured the Maori that they would have “undisturbed possession” of all their “properties”, whereas the Maori translation merely gave them tino rangatiratanga (full authority) over taonga(treasures) – a more nebulous term.
How my heart sings 
I write under a cloud of hoping I use the right word at the right time. It is startling when I discover there is a word I’ve been misusing all my life. I think you’re right, though, you can’t win the fight when the consensus is against you. Consensus seems to say today that all right is spelled alright. I’m trying to accept this and carry on, but if I ever write alright in place of all right I need to hang up my writing pen. Perhaps I should become uninterested or disinterested in such fine points, but I’m confused now and don’t know which to become!
Yes,I know just what you mean!
