Thank God for the Language Police
Language is powerful. Without its mediating role, we would be unable to grasp reality. Did you know there was a Language Police out there? Someone needed to do it. Words are misused, overused and a-bused here in the Information Age. Lake Superior State University has been compiling a list of banned words worn slick with overuse for the past thirty years. I think the official list comes out tomorrow. You can read about it here as well.

That is funny. I would like to read the whole list. There are phrases in our house that are way overused too...like "Mawwwm" or "huh?"
