[quote:24f65]sen·sa·tion·al·ize (sěn-sā'shə-nə-līz') Pronunciation Key
tr.v. sen·sa·tion·al·ized, sen·sa·tion·al·iz·ing, sen·sa·tion·al·iz·es
To cast and present in a manner intended to arouse strong interest, especially through inclusion of exaggerated or lurid details: "doubted the ability of the liberal press to handle such information fairly, to refrain from sensationalizing it" (Bob Woodward and Carl Bernstein). [/quote:24f65]

For example, saying someone was ELECTROCUTED (which is explicit in its meaning) rather than ELECTRO SHOCKED; or, I dunno, saying someone was "forced to the ground", rather than "tripped on his feet resisting arrest". Just because a bunch of fools use language improperly - doesn't make it any less wrong.

[quote:24f65]Anytime you use your emotive, often toungue-in-cheek, little descriptions that you think are so fucking clever, you always throw in a few considered, and alot of the time very much misleading adjectives to intensify and sensationalize your points.[/quote:24f65]

For example? No, never mind. At this point its pretty obvious your grasp of English is pretty piss poor.

In any case this horse is ready for the glue factory. I can only demonstrate my rightness for so long before it gets tedious.
