Some tart on Bloomberg TV, like, has used a word, like, that really gets my goat, like: Scarifying.

They've a bit of a history of doing that to people.

We left you to yourselves after a while didn't we?

I remember driving overnight somewhere and something happened in Iraq, when Bush was in. He was to make a wee speech and the radio station went over 'live' to broadcast it.

Now I can't remember the context but Bush definately referred to the the 'Iraqis' as 'the Iraqi-asian people', I totally pissed myself. All subsequent broadcasts edited that bit out. (Bush's wordplay, not me pissing myself...)

And 'to burglarize' - what's all that about?

Even more annoying than "scarifying" is "incentivising". FFS it's "encouraging".

Bloody Yanks.

Isn't scarifying something you do to your lawn?

Yes, when getting rid of moss.

Isn't scarifying something you do to your lawn?

Or your skin

Arghhhhh!

People who use 'transition' as a verb really annoy me.

simple logic suggests to me that scarifying is a mix of scary and terrifying - I don't see where frightening gets into the picture.

But that is probably just me.

'king 'ell. I'm 'aving the Danes giving me grief now.
