At the risk of sounding like my good friend Bill Murgan, who about 10 years ago stated, "Man, I sure am getting sick of the dot com thing", here are a couple of phrases I can live without.
WEB-BASED - oh please. Only ducks and geese are web-based.
GREEN- envy is green. Money is green. Policy is not green.
CARBON FOOTPRINT - oh, shut up.
Oh and by the way NPR, who told you enlightened bunch of egomaniacs that it is CarNEGie as in Andrew CarNEGie. Get over yourselves you boatload of blowhards. How can one possibly pull off the joke "How do I get to Carnegie hall?" if one says CarNEGie? You can't. So leave it alone.

Tell me, was it Rush, Sean, Bill, or the dear MS Coulter that got you to hate NPR so much?
I Love NPR. It's all I listen to. What I don't love are: 1) People so smugly full of themselves (and they in the NPR circles know who they are, or 2) When someone mispronounces a word and everyone jumps on it in fear that they will be seen as the one mispronouncing it.
