Not long ago, I heard a story on NPR about more tragic injuries in Afghanistan.

Heres what the reporter had to say:  “Improvised explosive devices have become the favorite weapon of choice for terrorists.”

OK, one more.  El Dodo said the other day, while doing a spot, “When I get an email with a reagan.com address, I know that we share a special kinship.”

OK, one more.  I actually heard a reporter say recently, “They both share a common bond.”  Funny, I have used that exact quotation as a mythical example of really bad usage.

I refuse to give up.
