“Dreadful *tinny* sort of words.”

and some just plain dumb - e.g. “shelter in place” is just “if you’re safe, stay where you are”. I don’t know if it’s suppose to sound more official if you say “shelter in place” or what.

Some of this is caused by the previous 140 character limit of Twitter. One needs to condense words wherever possible. It made for some awkward phrases.
