gangerh commented on the word acquisitive crime
I got this from the 'Your Police in Wakefield' newspaper. Motto - 'Making a difference locally'. I submit that acquisitive crime suggests a less severe offence than plain old theft. Acquisitive crime includes house burglary, robbery and vehicle crime. Now that's what I call making a difference. Outrageous. Who's got the list of euphemisms which would make a suitable home for this piece of soft brain tissue thinking?

And perhaps I'll start a list of useage of long words when diminutive ones will suffice.
