Jimmy I fully understand your frustration...I cringe when I hear things like "So Fun" and all the other Youth Speak, not to mention the illiterates who get paid big big bucks to tell us what's happening in the world and we hear things like, "The Baltimore Oreos" Every night I sit there and scream at the TV when they screw things up not just in their speaking but in the identifying titles they throw up on the screen as well. And have you ever pushed the mute button and tried to figure out what's going on by reading the titling being done for the deaf...God help them...if in fact they care.

They don't care. The new attitude of "writers" is "If you know what I mean, that's good enough!"

...and certainly we DO know what they mean, so, in a way, they make their point. HOWEVER, will those equally or even MORE illiterate ones on down the line from THEM know what is being said?

Not sure at all about that...and not sure that it will even matter. And THAT is sad!

Bad journalism is caused by all those rocks the astronauts took off the moon.

Maybe...but I think it's global warming.

...and Al's with ME on this one!
