>>Maybe the era of media "Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil" regarding Klinton is coming loose at the seams.

I try to throw out a "thank you!" any time I see "loose" used properly in a FR post.

THANK YOU!

Widespread improper use of loose/lose is a pet peeve of mine that almost makes me lose my mind. ;-)

And now back to our regularly scheduled thread.

Now if we could only get Al Michaels et al to understand the difference between "route" and "rout".

That's just in the printed word though, it could be a typo.

I'd rather pick on people for what they say, my favorite is "mute point". Hearing it makes my head turn slightly and my eyes narrow in judgment of the speakers' intellajinse.
