You're right, how foolish of me to state in the open that those in the media should use words correctly. The next thing you know, I'll be expecting Congress and the Supreme Court to follow the wording of the Constitution, under the evidently false notion that words have meaning.

It is no wonder the Democrats and Socialists are able to subvert this nation so easily. Its not that words are used incorrectly, but that so many people get upset when you request that those in official publications use words correctly.

You know, I'd say something like, "Put down the shovel, and climb out with your hands up," but you're clearly beyond redemption.

Pick me up some eggrolls when you hit China, OK?

Didn't you see my post? You win. Words have no meaning, and are subject to change at the whim of the person using them. You win. Now please, go about your business proudly. I'll stop asking that the media use words correctly, especially since this concept offends you so much. You win, get it?

LJ reminds me of someone I used to be VERY close to. He is stuck on minutiae and clouds the issue with his superior knowledge and use of language, his "correctness" in slamming everyone else over their stupidity, but lacks common sense.
