I hate buzzwords! It's not "carbon," it's "carbon dioxide"

And what about these stupid yellow ribbons everywhere? I hate that too!

    Toodling my horn melodiously...

    I don't believe I've ever caught a Cary column this early, when there are just a handful of letters accumulated... but this has been fun.

    I thought the LW had a point of sorts, but the richness and variety of the letters people have written thus far has been lovely. Especially the point re: bandying about the word "green", when it has the same etymological verity as "carbon", in this whole context.

    Just to let y'all (plural, of course) know, I'm writing an article about the sweetness of messing up words... it's called "Wallah! I've found my nitch!".

    And if you don't know how to pronounce a word, Say It Loud!
