Writer's Block: Are you incentivized?
[Error: unknown template qotd]
Well that word for a start, incentivized gets on my nerves. I can barely pronounce it given my obsessive compulsive need to pronounce things properly, the way they were meant to be. 'Think outside the box' is another one. It's vague and cliche. I prefer to 'use my creativity to come up with new ideas' since that's technically what you're doing when 'thinking outside the box'.
And speaking of my compulsive need to pronounce things correctly, if my mother-in-law tells me one more time about her migraines and pronounces it 'me-graine', I think I may scream. It's a 'mi-graine', there's a reason it's an 'i' and not an 'e'.
Also in the same vein, I can't work out whether David Cameron has been saying 'nuclear' or 'nucular' in the debates, which brings me to another catchphrase - 'War on Terror'. I'm aware of that thanks, now I wish politicians would quit using it as an excuse to pass stupid laws and regulations to do whatever the hell they want.
