RE: Item #31, concering Newsweek’s Chris Riotta claiming that Ivanka Trump “plagiarized” one of her own speeches. I would attribute this more to Chris Riotta's ignorance of the meaning of “plagiarized." I once worked with a reporter that thought "famous" and "infamous" were synonyms and tried to use "infamous" to describe the NJ State Marine Police in a "puff" piece that was used before a live fireworks cablecast our cable system local origination station broadcast. I was editing the piece and caller her on the misuse of the word. I was later called into the news director's office. He told me that I was wrong in correcting her--but then, with a smile on his face, he told me to let him know next time.

My pet peeve along those lines is "enormity" used instead of "enormousness." "Enormity" means "the great or extreme scale, seriousness, or extent of something perceived as bad or morally wrong;" the "bad or morally wrong" is a vital piece of the definition.

She's about the only MSM person I consider to be a true journalist.

There, their, they're... it'll be OK.

Oh, I don't call out mistakes--unless they're funny--it's just one of those things. I get especially annoyed when I let a typo slip through (and it does happen).
