It's Just a Word!

As usual, there seem to be too many people with far too much time on their hands. Per Alexandra Petri, "According to the Wall Street Journal, there is a movement - or, as I prefer, 'epidemic,' of English teachers telling people to ditch 'boring' words like 'said.' 'Said,' handouts proclaim, 'is Dead.'"

I would much rather have a simple "said" than the extremely annoying "shared"!
