On the Language Front

This is a headline in USA Today:

3M fires long-time executive Michael Vale amid ‘inappropriate personal misconduct’ claims.

We’re not savages. All misconduct, be it personal or professional, should be rigorously appropriate.

This is from The New York Times:

Ms. Feinstein flew on a chartered private plane last week to return to Washington, accompanied by her dog, her longtime housekeeper and Nancy Corinne Prowda, the eldest daughter of Representative Nancy Pelosi of California, the former House speaker who has been a longtime friend of Ms. Feinstein’s and has been practically living at her house during her recovery.

Riddle: Who has been practically living with Ms. Feinstein during her recovery — Nancy Pelosi or Pelosi’s eldest daughter?*

*(Hint: It’s not Nancy Pelosi.)
