Ever notice how the newsmedia uses the same overly dramatic words over and over again to describe things that are usually somewhat pedestrian? Some of my favorite pet peeves:
John Doe SLAMMED reports that he was tall.
John Doe BLASTED his neighbor for saying short people overreact.
John Doe VOWED that the reports would be investigated.
John Doe DOWNPLAYED news of his height.
Anybody else out there have a few?
