I don’t listen to news talk radio and I seldom watch Question Period on television. When I do watch talk shows, I get turned off by the filler words that are used over and over. There are certain words and phrases that drive me nuts. They’re overused, they’re often grammatically incorrect thanks to text speak, and sometimes they are just completely paradoxical or make no sense. But people continue to use them over and over again.
Why can’t people who work in radio and television learn to speak properly? It’s bad enough when popular sports figures are interviewed. Many of these highly paid stars mumble away in a monotonous tone and can’t seem to see beyond the game and winning.
