Another one getting me at the mo (see, I told you I'd think of more!) is people who use the word 'random' to describe anything they dislike or think is odd. THAT'S NOT WHAT IT MEANS! It used to be just teenagers and the kind of people who like say 'like' in like every sentence, you know?, but now people I'd assumed had a brain cell are doing it! The other day I heard Judy Finnigan say 'oh, that's just so random' when she heard a Lib Dem MP was appearing in 'The Games' on Channel 4. Er, no it isn't! It's not random at all - it's the exact opposite, she was picked precisely because of who she is, not randomly! Okay, I know she has been presenting a fluffy daytime show for years, but she was trained as a journalist; surely she should know what basic words mean?
