A couple of things that have made me wince in the last day or so.
Yesterday at Farringdon tube station there was a hand-written sign proudly declaring that “Kings Cross station is re-open”.
Then this morning on the TV news I heard someone talking about the England vs Turkey football match which is apparently taking place this weekend. They described the match as “crucial”. I’m not sure I can see how any sporting event could ever be accurately described as crucial. Maybe this is a example of the “language inflation” that David McKie was talking about in the Guardian yesterday.
