In which I complain about sloppy wordifying (although not exclusively medical) in broadcast and print news.

Time was when the worst offenses were incorrect use of “hopefully,” treating “media” and “bacteria” as singular nouns, and the apparently always-with-us nuke-you-lar.

Only covfefe knows… but herewith an ongoing list of the usages I hear all too often in broadcast media and see in print.
