Now that I am done bitching about the missing "t" in so many mispronounced English words, I need to rant about my other pet peeve. Once again this is a widespread misuse, most commonly seen among highly paid newscasters, notably David Muir and almost everyone else on ABC. The grammatical sin? Turning hundreds of two-syllable words into three-syllable words for no apparent reason other than ignorance. A few recent examples: huddeling, gambelling, crumbelling, sparkelling, and toppelling. If you watch the nightly news on any network, you're sure to hear many more misuses. I remember when newscasters set a standard for diction and grammatical correctness. I hate to think our language is—to use another two-syllable word— crumbling.
