Nellie Hill emotes:
Emotionally Charged……..What can I say about this one. People everywhere from waiting in line at Walmart for a Wii to attendees at a vet’s funeral are experiencing this emotional charge. I think I’ve heard it everyday for this last week. (The Washington Redskins, their fans, the victims of the mall shooting in Omaha….AARRGGG!)
Er, you’ve heard it “everyday”? The word was similarly abused in the Times magazine Q&A with Patti Smith last Sunday, so maybe it’s gone from wrong to standard.
