Least Favorite Word:
issueThis word is used FAR TOO OFTEN. People talk about how they want politicians to stick to the "issues," and yet no one can agree what those issues are; even worse, many people use the word as a euphemism for "problem," as in "I have issues with that person."
Favorite Quote:
"I am only mad north-northwest; when the wind is southerly, I know a hawk from a handsaw."
- William Shakespeare (from Hamlet)
