POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE: For wicked fun at the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired, we wish each other a perky, “Keep a positive mental attitude!” This irritates on at least two levels.

As staff psychologist, I can’t resist joining in the teasing. It helps let off a safe bit of steam after a day of treating patients who say nucular and most importantly.

Of course, we do our best to maintain a positive attitude, but we do look forward to our annual Celebrity Roast, at which we highlight — lowlight? — a linguistically impaired public figure. Our President, for instance.
