eorI realize that online news sites are cutting budgets and staff, but some things are inexcusable.
On CNN tonight there is a story line: "Northeast Braces for First Big Storm of the Seaon". I'm sure the people who lost there electricity in the last storm that went through would disagree with this assessment.
The story as it turns out is talking about large snowfall amounts in places such as Washington DC, Philly, Virginia with lesser amounts in New York and Boston. The area hardest hit will be an area known as the "central atlantic" states. The northeast is usually considered to be New England (ME, NH, VT,MA,RI,CT) and New York.
I'm sure some of the people from West Virginia and Virginia would not be happy at all being called "Northern".
P.S.: Today's m-w word of the day is mnemonic, Johnny Mnemonic. Can you remember that, or do you need something to help you remember it?
