From Linda Demaree:<\/p>\n

I am sick of any phrases using the word “closure<\/strong>“, i.e.,
\n“they need closure”, “they finally have closure”,
\netc, etc.<\/p>\n

Another fun one is “infrastructure<\/strong>“, which seems
\nto be the popular byword today. The only problem with it is that
\neveryone is using it, and using it and using it, ad nauseam- and
\nlargely incorrectly.<\/p>\n

I am not a member of the media in any way, however, I felt the need
\nto add a couple of my “pet peeve” phrases to your list of expressions
\nwhich should be banned for life!I hope that someone from the media will think to add these to the list, because quite frankly, when I hear them used or see them in print, I have a tendency to shut out the rest.<\/p>\n

Thanks for letting me vent.
