Meh!!

"Available" used to be my bęte noire. Now it's "visit". You get that all the time with ads that include a website.

It's not really a "can't say" for me, but why do knucklehead radio station AEs always include the phrase "located at" in the copy they write. It is almost always unnecessary.

I'm being generous and giving them the benefit of the doubt. There may be a case where the use of "conveniently located" could possibly be justified. But never "conveniently located from everywhere." People should be pilloried for including that in a commercial.

Yes! "Come to our store - inconveniently located, but we have really good stuff"

My little nightmare is "rear view mirror" - I suddenly turned into Elmer Fudd -
"we-oh vee-oh mewoo"

"be vewy vewy quiet - weoh hunting wabbits"...

I thought there was something I needed to learn about breath support as there was something I couldn't manage today. As it turned out the only thing I needed to know was that a sentence without comas or other punctuation should not contain 34 words most consisting of multi-syllables.

Usual laissez-faire approach somewhat over shadowed this week by an attack of the black death/pubonic plague/sore throat and near terminal dandruff with plaque acid bacterial complications.
