Oxford American Writer's Thesaurus

Came across this quite personal "Word Note" by Francine Prose about the word "share" in Oxford American's Writer's Thesaurus.  {BTW:  Here's William Saffire's thought-provoking take from this past Sunday's NYT magazine on the merging of dictionaries and thesauruses) I can't help but marvel over personal biases we have towards words.  We all have our idiosyncracies, but frankly, I never thought twice about using the phrase "share a story" until I read this passage by Francine Prose.  I'm not convinved that it's an inappropriate usage of the word, but I certainly will mind be careful not to "share stories"  I ever find myself in the presence of Ms. Prose.

"Try as I might, I will never be able t bring myself to use this word to mean 'to tell a story' or  'to make a confession.' Thank you for sharing that sad account of your most embarrassing moment.  In my view, the object of the verb should be a real or abstract commodity, not a narrative. [NB: If a narrative isn't real or abstract, what is it?] The king was deposed because he refused to share his wealth and power.  Perhaps it's because, in the more old-fashioned usage, sharing (and, by extension, whatever was being shared) was an inarguably good thing.  Children should be taught to share their toys.  But being invited to share our personal history can feel like an invasion of privacy [NB - yes, but isn't that implicit in the act?] and when someone else shares in that way, it's possible that the process can turn out to be a burden or an imposition, rather than a deseriable act of unselfishness and generosity."
