Why are so many people saying ‘decider’ is not a word? Do they not know their own language and how to use it? The Decider’s arrogance and whininess are immense, but at least he knew how to append -er to a verb, to make a noun meaning ‘one who does’ the action represented by the verb.
I was just listening to an old interview of Randi Rhodes, the Air America Radio talk program host, and she said there should be professional standards and boards for journalists. It would be illegal to misrepresent yourself as a professional news person or news operation. What makes this interesting is that I already was an advocate of this, and had no idea Randi Rhodes had the same opinion.
