Also, what is/where does the word "Africanized" appear in our dictionaries today? I hate the "---ized" words that are being made up.

Well, according to Dictionary.com, it appeared around 1850-1855:

This is AZ.

They are not “Killer Bees” they are “Undocumented Bees”.

My favorite badly-written title, which actually inspired a book title, was from a piece about Panda bears. The title was supposed to be:

Panda Bear Eats Shoots and Leaves

...but the author added a couple of innocent commas:

Panda Bear Eats, Shoots, and Leaves

My pet journalistic peeve is the use of the term “teen” for a person who is 18 or 19 years old. It’s not totally incorrect, but it implies that the person is a juvenile. At 18 one is an adult. Why is it so hard to say “an 18 year old man” instead of “a male teen?”
