Paging Wilford Brimley. Would Mr. Brimley please come to the white courtesy phone?
Don’t let on, but I’d like to smack him upside the head. I’ve mentioned before that I’m disturbed–on a near daily basis–by his mangling of the English language. I’ve recently discovered that he has a little friend. I don’t recall what product it’s for, but there’s a commercial on heavy rotation right now for a medication for some sort of “respitory” ailment. That’s right folks. I thought it had five syllables, too, so I’m just as shocked as y’all are. And, amazingly, if you go a-Googling for “respitory,” you get 174,000 hits. It is for to weep.
