Maybe the Old Boy could deliver a copy of Ed Neuman' s "Strictly Speaking" to every journalist, politician, and flack in the nation. Then perhaps we wouldn't be subjected to so damn many stupid uses of the English language.
Like this morning. Headlines all over the place about the worsening housing "crisis."
Near as I can figure, what's happening is that fewer people are going in hock for houses they can't afford, never could afford, and never will be able to afford. If that's a "crisis" I'll kiss your butt on the quarterdeck and give you an hour to turn out the watch below.
