Melodramatic language...

Have you noticed how the media uses such dramatic words to describe news events? The word "plunge" is an overused favourite. Today shares plunged to an all time low. Or. Temperatures plunged as much of the country was gripped in icy weather. The use of these words to my mind creates exaggeration and when the economy is being reported on then no wonder people become extra nervous and the situation is compounded. Perhaps the likes of the BBC and The Daily Mail etc. have lot to answer for!


Rant over.
