Yes, the widespread misuse of "decimate" irritates me also, just as do the constant references to "data" and "media" as singular nouns.

But my pet linguistic peeve? It's the use of "red" to refer to Republicans and conservatives. When "red" is used in a political context, it should be in reference to Marxists and other hardcore leftists.

Sad to say, moreover, many "true blue" conservatives are often just as guilty in committing this linguistic sin as sin as are their adversaries in academia, the media and the Dhimmi establishment.

I now feel like I’m insane, but I was SURE only in the last 20years or so have the media switched these colors. I think to try to dissociate commie Dems from their Red leanings.
