You'll be glad to hear Nomads rank higher than TV news men/women when it comes to language. Some news speak:
1. sorta, kinda
2. unbelievable! (would news people show you what you should not believe?)
3. "Try AND...." They NEVER say "Try to..."
4. Retract back, continue on
5. None of them can say the word for mounted soldiers -- they all say "Calvary" which is a mountain mentioned in the bible.
There are hundreds more and you see and hear them every time you watch the news. Uncountable misuses of the English language. |
