Use of the word Issue
You see this all the time these days. People use these little phrases and sayings and the media are guilty more than most in my opinion, but there's one phrase or word that's been in circulation recently that really annoys me!

It's the stupid over use of the word issue that really gets up my nose. Why do people, particularly in the media have to use these stupid phrases all the time?

| 13-4-2006 | What do we actually call an issue anyway? I really don't think that anything sport or celeberaty related should be considered an issue given the current situation in the world. | jk12 |
| 14-3-2006 | Wouldn't be so bad if the media actually got ALL the facts RIGHT before going to print.

| 21-2-2006 | You hear it all over the place here in Canada, and it drives me nuts. It has worked its way down from corporate/public speak, to interviews, to middle management meetings, reports and documents - people even use it conversation with friends.
