Half Empty


Am I the only one who thinks that the words "plummet", "tumble", "freefall", "nosedive" and "slumped" - not to mention "billion" and even "trillion" - are being used far too often at the moment?

I know that the economy isn't doing too well (though now that petrol prices have come down it's mainly shareholders that are suffering), but what happened to terms like "confidence", "upbeat", "rally" and "improving"?
