I flinch every time my public radio announcer reminds me of how much their work has impacted the region. And because of this impactful reporting, listeners should give.
One of my pet hates, a phrase rather than one word, used to be "at this point in time". A pet hate I am glad to say was shared by Francis Ford Coppola, who somehow resisted the temptation to entitle APOCALYPSE NOW, his hallucinatory 1979 epic about the Vietnam War, APOCALYPSE AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

And, as for "k" words, "Trump deserves a lickin", is much better than, say, "Trump deserves a reappraisal."
