Yeah, That’s Not a Word

I was flipping between two talk radio stations and the CD player in my car this morning and I happened upon Bo Dietl on the Imus show. They were discussing the election and Dietl was saying how he thinks that voters will be making their decision with 9/11 in mind. And then he said something about the devastationalization of 9/11.

Huh?

I didn’t want to just mock the guy for making up a word without checking. But let the mocking ensue, because it isn’t. It’s both highly amusing and equally annoying when people persist in trying to use large words to try to sound smarter when the smaller word is actually the better choice in the long run.

Just my 2 cents.
