Despite the fact that I like Fox News for its straightforward reporting, I've noticed that some of the anchors use poor English. The other night I was watching Fox News and one of thier news anchors kept using that ubiquitous malapropism “...you know” over and over again. I can't remember her name but it was one of their seemingly unlimited roster of good looking young blond women (no it wasn't Megan Kelly). She just kept saying “you know” over and over. It sounded really terrible. It was embarrassing.

Yes, I know it's their and not thier. Typo, Spell check didn't catch it. Embarrassing since I was slamming Fox reporters for poor English.

my pet hate (off topic slightly) is the word text-—ded.

there is no such word. the past tense for texting is ‘texted’ not textded.

Not blaming FOX news but it seems the latest dumb buzz word
