I hate the misuse of the word "tragically". When you get news stories about someone who was "tragically killed" or "tragically died" - are there people whose death is not tragic? At least to them and their loved ones?
I completely agree. Expounding on that, I also hate the word tragedy itself. I always worry when someone says that word that someone else is going to sing that utterly awful crime against music by The Bee Gees. It's okay if I'm at home and I can make a courageous lunge at the TV or radio to turn it off but I live in fear of being out in the open and it's blaring from equipment that I don't own and can't switch off. I'll be running like crazy diving into places with loud noises trying to drown it out.

I feel unclean having even typed the word

THANK YOU Cariad - some one else who feels the same way as I do concerning that word.
Have you seen the Vagina Monologues perchance because that was what dis-empowered the word for me.

I have seen it - but I was ranting about the word before then.

I'm not that keen on God Bless cos there's no evidential proof that God actually wants to bless that person, and I think it's highly presumptuous of the 'blesser' to bless the 'blessee' on the Guv's behalf.

I do say 'stay blessed' to people sometimes, but only if I think they've been blessed by something. (I wouldn't say it to someone with syphilis, for example).

Well I'm glad about that 

Actaually I do say Good Night, God Bless - to my grand sons ......................said it to my kids too. It was always something said at home when I was a kid .........sort of comforting.

However we also say 'Nightie, nightie' and the required response id 'Pyjamas, pyjamas'.
