Language-cop Citations

The fitness athlete was introduced as an "Iron Man lady." Was she competing in the Transgender Games?!

After the crash: "The last fifteen minutes on Wall Street yesterday were a roller coaster." No they weren't--roller coasters go up and down; the Market ride was unidirectional!

"With First-Plus, you can get up to $40,000 or more." Which is it, up to or more? (It can't be both.)

When the Constitution established the standard for impeachment as "high crimes and misdemeanors," wasn't that a bit like imposing the electric chair for first-degree murder and jay-walking?!

The educator defended Head Start "for students at risk to succeed." Maybe next we can do something for those at risk to fail?!
