I just heard someone say "incentivize" on public TV.
In the letters to the editor column of the NY Times someone wrote in response to a story on Mother Teresa's 'pain and doubt,' 'God is not our cosmic bellhop waiting to respond to our beacon call.'
Beck and call, I thought, beck and call. Surely this is a Mondegreen? Whatever. I could care less.
