Totally Unprecendented.

I am so sick of the word unprecedented.

It’s just one of those words that people use to try and sound smart. I hate it. I’m so tired of it.

Sarah Palin’s scrutiny is unprecedented?

The U.S. bail-out bill is unprecedented?

What isn’t unprecedented these days?

I hate the word.

I remember being excited when I learned about “precedents” in terms of law/trials.

But I see how the use of ‘unprecedented’ could get annoying quickly! And in the Sarah Palin instance, wouldn’t something like ‘unwarranted’ be more correct? Or has there never been scrutiny before? ^_^

Good point, maybe the ‘unprecendentedness’ of the scrutiny she’s receiving means that it’s unprecedented for her.

Makes sense. It also helps me sleep better at night thinking that.

Have a good one, Erin!
