Evil
I hate it when people say things that they think sound smart, but in reality, sounds stupid. One trend I've noticed in the past year or two is the "affordability turnaround" line. Here is an example...
TV news journalist: "With all the problems facing our country, how can we afford the time and resources to switch to the metric system?"
Smug talking head: "Well, the question isn't whether we can afford to switch to metric... the question is whether we can afford NOT TO."
I hate this! These kinds of statement are almost never substantiated in any way. The people who use them think they are some verbal judo masters or something, but I think they're just unimaginative tools.
