Campus Times staff writer DeSpain on language thoughts

2019-04-12 - Campbellsville University - Photo from Professor Stan McKinney, CU Mass Communication

Jake DeSpain is a Taylor County student majoring in mass communication at Campbellsville University where he is a staff writer on the Camus Times.

In one of the winter publications, he wrote what he feels are the most annoying words and phrases of all time - listing them in no particular order, but encouraging speakers of the English language to drop them - NOW!

He lists 10 of them - words and phrases he feels have run their course and need to be eliminated, immediately. First on his list of 10 is this:

"Just sayin': Why is it when we give our opinion on something that may offend someone else do we say "just sayin'"? Is this supposed to make our comment less offensive? It is time we just muster up the courage to give our opinion. Period."

And he did, with nine more suggestions you can see by clicking 'read more' below.

Kentucky Color: Redbud Heaven II

2019-04-11 - Columbia, KY - Photo by Billy Joe Fudge
The Great Wooded South is Redbud Heaven this Spring. Beyond a shadow of a doubt, this is the most prolifically spectacular Redbud bloom of my lifetime.

I did want to share this White Redbud bloom with you on the corner of Jones and Greensburg Streets. It and a traditional Eastern Redbud stand side by side but the White one is in really bad health and I wanted to record its beauty for posterity.
