Hey, CNN, what's with the quotes around 'deadliest'? Is it meant in some type of ironic way? Is it a term you disagree with like when I say political "ethics"? Is it a special term of art which might not mean what someone outside the specialty might misunderstand?

How about a straight headline?

2,000 feared killed in deadliest Boko Haram attack in Nigeria

There, no irony, no doubt as to what deadliest means.

When will the World Leaders’ Rally and the Candle-light Vigils begin? I don’t want to miss them.

I hope no one is upset about these 2,000 murders because that would be offensive to Muslims.
