Bad words

Icon and idol. Why or why doesn't the committee that condenms words take on these two? If I hear one more two-bit celebrity referred to as an icon I am going to gag. As for "idol", "any object of ardent or excessive devotion or admiration," looks to me like the icons have become idols and the idols are icons and the language is devalued. This cult of celebrity that has take over the culture (cult? culture?) is so slimy. Way too many people are swimming at the shallow end of the gene pool. Where will it all end, she asked.

Meantime, I fought off a virus, switched computers, wrote 3 pages, sent out 6 letters, and went over 20 pages of edits. Hey, you thought I was shirking. Only shirking the blog. More anon, about querying, editing and all that really good stuff.
