Over Used Words!!!

Jackhound Mom — Wed, 07 Jul 2021 14:02:52 GMT

Draconian: excessively harsh and severe

Embolden: to behave in a certian way

I am really tired of these 2 words. My news channel uses them all the time.

The female hosts at JTV.......keep saying, "I know, I know". Can't tell if they're talking to themselves, the guy in the control booth.....or an "imaginary friend".............

News channels seem to be given "words for a day"...only they last repetitively for a few weeks and it is grating

currently I'm tired of "trajectory"

Just watch another channel where the news Hosts have broader vocabularies rather than spewing talking points

Sorry! I typed it both ways and the "correct" way looked wrong to me.

@Jackhound Mom While these words may be grammatically correct, I hear them so much that I feel they are overused:

As well, in lieu of saying also or too.

Went or gone missing, instead of saying is missing.

And

Something went terribly wrong, instead of saying something went wrong.

@skatting44 great idea, but it doesn't work. They all do it....I intentionally watch news channels with differing perspectives. One channel shows clips of the same word being repeated consistently on another channel...so they are highly aware of this trend also.

What I hear hosts say a lot----"Oh, and P.S. and by the way"

So over used!

I can't stand know-it-all reporters on tv describing everything with "esque." at the end of it. Stalin-esque, Hemingway-esque, etc. They sound ridiculous.
Also, " I know, right?".

Come'on, man!
