I find the use of "issue" as a euphonism for "problem" to be tedious, though I have started using it to conform to what people now see as the norm.

I also find "at the end of the day" tedious at best, though it is not used nearly as much as issue.

I remember when my son wanted to play the euphonism in orchestra, but I talked him into the flute.

What I want is some Kind of Hall Effect Meter

That installs on the COAX incoming to the T.V.
AND details the I.Q. of the Talking Head (OR "Talent") appearing on camera at the time.
(A Second sub meter would Judge Intelligence based on Vocabulary)

Would these devices be any kind of (accurate/empirical) Judgment of the general populace's level of "Smarts"?

(Hey,We watch these Muffin Heads,What does that say about US ?)

Speaking of Muffin heads. Fox news is often on where I eat lunch with the sound turned down. They have some really great looking ladies talking on there.

They look very fine as long as the sound is down.

Using "issue" instead of "problem" sounds to me like just more political correctness. You know, sort of like "Undocumented Workers" instead of "Illegal Immigrants." Illegal, even though it is true and correct, just doesn't sound nice.

We have become a society that won't face facts.
