I ask too much. I demand that newspeople break stories. Implore them to think about the meaning of words like "conservative." Beseech them to infuse their work with idealism.
Duh! Why do I not understand this is beyond them. After all, they cannot write English.
From one Leigh Strope of AP on page B7 of today's Albuquerque Tribune:
"But the spate of hiring gains in recent months have shrank those losses [of jobs] to about 1.5 million."
Aaaargh!
I must shrank my expectations.
