My only quibble with all forecasters is using the term El Nino. I'd like for all of them to stop that nonsense.

What is it about that term that is nonsense?

I hate the encroachment of "Mexican" (Spanish) terminology into the precise lexicon of science. The weather should be described solely in English. I can tolerate words like patio that have crept into the general language but hold science to a far higher standard.

Tim James was my candidate and he absolutely nailed it in his great campaign ad.
