Don't forget to be proactive and maximize our resources to get all the low-hanging fruit. I love the name of this list!

I encountered a rather startling dumbism the other day in an e-mail: "Let's sunset this idea."
Wha...??

"New initiative" always gets me. What other kind of initiative is there?

I am listening to a series of lectures-on-CD by linguist John McWhorter, and am starting to think I am too hard on the peculiarities of spoken language. Most of the items on this list annoy me because they are dumb, but some are legitimate verbal English. But in revisiting these, almost every one of them makes me cringe.

"In June 1999, then-Rep. Tom DeLay (R-Texas) appeared on the House floor to reflect on the Columbine massacre, and he proceeded to blame science textbooks for the murders. These tragedies happen, DeLay said , 'because our school systems teach the children that they are nothing but glorified apes who are evolutionized out of some primordial soup.'"
