One of my biggest pet peeves is when people linearize things that aren't linear.

For example:

"More clean" (you can't make a clean thing cleaner)

"More perfect" (ring a bell? So to speak) (you can't make something more perfect if it already is)

I wish people would stop doing that.

"At present, the only means of effectively eliminating health risk associated with indoor exposure is to ban smoking activity."

Just like with wood burning and other combustion devices - the only way to make combustion safe is to stop doing it!

Notice how the word "ethical" is missing though.

Why do they call it Mount Seymour?

Because it's where Metro Vancouver's television signals are transmitted from, and television allows people to Seymour.
