I guess this is what it’s come to.

I was listening to a local radio show this morning.  It was one of those Sunday morning public service things.  A woman was being interviewed about being a “mentor” (whatever the heck that is).  I was hoping that she doesn’t mentor anyone in the use of the language.

Here is what she said:

“I literally took a leap off that proverbial cliff.”

I’d analyze how truly awful that sentence is, but I don’t know where to start.
