On this morning's news it was announced that Isis had conquered an ancient (2000+ years old) city in Syria and I am seriously grieved about the potential loss of historic art and artifacts. However I was startled by one comment I heard. The announcer referred to the area as the "Cradle of Creation". Really? While I do believe God started it all, I'm not a literal creationist, and I'm pretty sure the phrase they were looking for is "Cradle of Civilization".
Another error heard yesterday (but not on TV) a young woman referred to people who could use both hands equally well as "ambidexterious". Hmmm?
