Absolutely, the most overused word on TV and I used it on the news this evening. It's especially irritating when they cut out whatever I was responding to! I'm a bit disappointed they didn't put in the things I said about the National Year of Reading and book clubs, and the bit about the files deleting themselves from your computer isn't true, but on the whole, I think it turned out OK.
Amy, you're ABSOLUTELY brilliant. I agree with you but sometimes it's hard no to slip into tv speak.

Hi there,
ReplyDeleteI thought you did a great job on the news. :)
I have been casually reading your blog for a while now, I am impressed with your good promotion of reading and libraries. :)
Woohooooooooo, Amy is a star! You definitely pop on screen.
ReplyDeleteI love how you promoted libraries. they are not just books anymore.
ReplyDeleteNice work! I thought you came across very well...television loves the words 'absolutely' and 'apalling' and 'horrendous' and anything else with emphatic overtones. And even if you hadn't said 'absolutely', they would have!
ReplyDeleteYou should have said "abso-bloody-lutely" and seen whether they kept it in.
