Heard an interview on CBC yesterday with some-doctor-or-other discussing assisted suicide. To my on-going horror, he answered each question with, "So......" What the eff??!! I know I have gone on about this before, but why does everyone now do this??!!??
"What are the legalities surrounding the taking of organs from a cadaver?" asked the interviewer. "So.........." the doctor went on. It drives me insane! Who started this and why???!!! I may actually go on-line and find the idiot's name and send him an email.
Both spoken and written English are being mutilated at every turn. It makes me weep because I love grammar and proper speech. I mean, if you can't properly speak and write your native tongue, what hope have you?
Am I alone? Guess so.
p.s. Chrystia Freeland is so annoying. Can't stand her, with her perky know-it-all-ness. Making a mess of the NAFTA negotiations, she still thinks she has a credible role to play. She is a joke. I was a member of the original Free Trade Task Force in 1988 and know the realities of such deals. Heck, I even have a citation in our office praising me for having been a part of it. I am very proud of it. Folks, there has to be respect and give-and-take, but the smug Freeland seems to have no idea of how to deal with the US?! I predict NAFTA will be cancelled.
