Words have meaning, and should be used correctly in order for the reader or listener to understand what is actually being conveyed.

Most of the media have no idea what they are talking about (parroting!!).
And way too many on open forums like this have no clue what they are talking about.....here again parroting from the media or special interest talking points......where it matters not whether accurate or false.
They are entitled to their opinion even if incorrect.
