Lesson Learned.
The first line of the entry becomes the title. Ah-ha! So let's make it official, bold type and all.

"Nickeled and Dimed" to the Limit.
News of an encouraging development.

Yesterday, more than 200 Wal-Mart workers held a demonstration in front of a Wal-Mart store in Hialeah Gardens, Florida. In the first significant protest ever organized by Wal-Mart employees in the United States, workers objected to managers cutting their hours, and to the company's insistence on employees' "open availability," as well as to a new, more stringent attendance policy. It's courageous of these workers, who are part of a Florida group called "Associates at Wal-Mart," to speak out publicly and demand better treatment. Let's hope their protest is a turning point in the fight for workers' rights atWal-Mart, and that more workers will be emboldened by the Florida workers' example and begin to organize.Too much of the debate over Wal-Mart takes place without the perspective of the true experts -- the workers themselves.

Wordwatch.
Words used by TV presenters that set my teeth on edge:
icon, iconic, surreal, quirky, feisty, key, cool, bling, chav. I may boil over occasionally about use of such. Yesterday's count - one apiece of icon, iconic, surreal. Also on the list, "key" as an adjective, but detached from a noun, as in "it's key". Is it really, Prat? I give up on "guys"; no middle-class twit can open their mouth without uttering it. It's shorthand for "I'm a middle-class twit, and I'm about to talk shite at you."

Namewatch.
I shall also be collecting silly name spellings, Lezli for Lesley, that sort of thing. "His name was Rick but he spelt it Ryque. I decided he was a pryque." (Bob Monkhouse).
