Smart Talk SMART TALK By Dr. Molto Breve
TOXIC POLLUTION: We’re finally becoming aware of the environmental crisis, even here in Texas. Let’s hope it’s not too late to turn the situation around, or too late to clean up the way we talk about it.
All pollution is toxic, including noise, so just saying pollution is enough, thank you.
There’s no need to say environmental pollution, either. It’s obviously redundant, and saying it makes one sound fatuous.
Toxic poisons seems just as obvious, but some say it, and I’m trying to get them into the Institute for the Linguistically Impaired for treatment.
