I think they should stop using "destructive," "coping," "devastating," "heart-felt," and "plethora."
The English language has plenty of adjectives that can be used instead. They could say "damaging" instead of "destructive." Instead of "coping," they could say "dealing with."
When I watch the news now-a-days, it seems that these "journalists" are just using the same words over and over because either they think the American public cannot understand anything else or they have lost their Thesaurus.
BTW, I am not looking for politcial words, so all the people that are going to say liberal and conservative, forget it. Those words have become institutions unto themselves. Iam talking about the words that appear all the time on every news channel.
