And hype has long been the order of the day, perhaps the chief legacy of the 20th century.
More surprised that "skeds," for schedules, is now a term that's OK for publication.
"Spike," considering its origins on the news desk, has long made my sub's blood boil!
And yet, when you spike a volleyball, you propel it downward.
Exactly!
I agree with Brian. "Skeds" is what really makes me want to clutch my copyeditor heart. Lol.
