Rant: Radio/TV talk show BUZZ words .

Am I singularly alone in thinking all these "Wanna be Correct " brigade are getting on my nerves.

'Issue' = 'Problem' is the word. Unless used in cases of where issues are relevant.

'Closure' = End. Nuff' said.

Anyone else call to mind words or phrases that tick you off ?

' BLOG.' Crappy writing. Here's some one who shares my sentiments.

Feel free to add you own 'issues' with words.

Public radio seems to be the worst offender....or should that be...have the most issues!
