On - Stupid American - Language
Heard two phrases that bowled me over with anger at the damage being done to langauge.
On CNN, reporter talking about Jennifer Short's parents being buried:
"After her parents have been funeralized tomorrow..." Funeralized? Funeralized? I'm speechless.
Overheard in a restaurant:
"So we'll effectuate the change Monday." Effectuate? P-u-lease. Don't you mean "we'll do it Monday"?
