Mangled Mind

I've gotten used to nonsensical manifestations of the English language and circular reasoning (to use the term loosely), because I read the "Sound Off"  column in the daily paper.  But my sense that our language is dying became intensified yesterday at the TV scroll advising of a weather warning "that will expire until further notice."  It is a memo, of course, with space constraints, but still somebody put those words together, and that's a frightening thought.

What's that sound?

The antibiotic was Cephalexin.  I sympathize: I took the same prescription for a dental cleaning on Tuesday, and it kind of wrecked me too, for a while.
