I've had the term infamous applied to me twice in the past few months. Just recently a myspace bulletin was sent out asking people to show up to an event, because I was going to make my infamous brownies. When using this word, I think the people meant it in a positive light. I believe they misinterpret the meaning of the word. I think when people see the word infamous they think it is another word for famous. But the term infamous means notoriously evil or disgraceful. I am sure I misuse words all the time so I can't get to critical of those misusing the word infamous. But just as an FYI to anyone who comes across this blog: infamous means evil not good.
