Clarity in communication is a highly coveted skill, especially in the media. You might think that verbal precision you might think would be a must in that field. But some words have me quoting the great Inigo Montoya who said, “You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
Words like “Fetus” and “Devout Catholic” make the list. Check out the entire list at The National Catholic Register>>>

….must reply,
….sooo, I ask, what's in a meaning?
….our culture has been hijacked by morons!
….spin doctors, word smiths, language revisionists and the artists of semantical obversion!
Language shapes thought and thought shapes speech!
So navigating through the horse hockey, I often, view with shock, sadness and horror, the blatant dumbing down, the idiocy, stupidly and outright laziness and contradiction of what culture now takes to be intellectual discourse and dialogue.
Some of the the obvious casualties are language miscommunication, poor governance, idoliized "cr@p" in the media and arts!
We are not sheep! Saying something often enough doesn't make it true!
….but, try telling that to the psuedo intellectual media "parrots"!
