Read other letters about this article
I finally had to register to send in a letter, because Cary Tennis' column is so great. I have read 8 e-pages of the letters responding to "I hate buzzwords..." I had to read to the end to check that my pet peeve wasn't already mentioned; I hate "I could care less!" instead of "I couldn't care less..."
but I have had so much fun reading all this. The wine and lachrymose stream was enjoyable and informative. I never had heard the term in my life! I also love how many discussions about the correct use of language can lead to propositions of marriage. I, too, find it a turn on! Don't know if I should have hyphenated that? Also, I just finished reading a book that argues with Al Gore's fear mongering [again, is a hyphen necessary?] called Unstoppable Global Warming every 1500 years and so I was gratified to read many of the letters that actually referred to the scientific terms, too.
If we plant more trees, won't they use the excess carbon dioxide for us?
But Cary's point about the smoggy illustrative meaning of carbon emissions was wonderful, too. Ooh, I can't decide!
