Drowning in a Sea of Words

   Note to all the conservatives who insist that English be the official language in America: At least have the political leaders pronounce it properly.
   Both John Boehner and Eric Cantor, among others, say "siddown" (one word) when they demand that President Obama sit down for negotiations over their differences.
   The expression calls for two distinct words, with a T followed by a D. Not a double D rolled into a single word.
   And never mind the hifalutin' gobbledygook, as Rep. Cathy Rodgers did when she said they "hope to begin a meaningful dialogue." Did she mean straight talk?
