Come on, people. If your job involves using English professionally, take some time to learn it. In particular:
– “Begging the question” does not mean “implying/requiring that the question be asked”
– “Schizophrenia” is not having multiple personalities
– “Enormity” does not mean “great size”
When you use words wrongly, it just confuses and annoys those of us who employ the correct usage.
uh… k…

So I'm English and grumpy. Whenever I hear this stuff, it's like somebody just set off an alarm in the middle of the sentence. Also, using “less” when you mean “fewer”.
Note: I only direct this criticism at journalists and other word professionals. It's their job.
Happy Friday 🙂
