I've been seeing a lot of ads for the Wounded Warrior Project and other appeals using the word "warrior". I support our troops as much as anyone, but could we please use a word that doesn't glorify war? Warrior carries too much connotation of Mongol hordes and the like. How about wounded soldier, veteran, service man, service woman, or military personnel?
Subway Restaurants: "It's our best chicken yet." Yet? Really? How bad was your chicken before?
With the NYPD slow-down kerfuffle, I've heard some people talk about "discretionary" policing, as in "These cops are making a statement to the mayor by refusing to engage in any discretionary policing." What is discretionary police work? Does such a thing even exist? It shouldn't.
Dodge: "Driving is a holy endeavor." Oh yes, it's "holy" for sure. WWJD? What would Jesus drive?
