Not so. This is how I learn & where I get ideas for my conlang & conculture. Most OT's fascinate me. The only topics I ignore regularly are those concerning computer programming. That is a subject way beyond me right now & probably always will be. And I do ignore flames if they get too hot.

If they are like the majority of American journalists in my experience, it's because they haven't got a clue as to how to work with the English language. A good example is our cable weather channel. What can one say hours on end about the weather? This is the only time I say, "Thank God for the commercials!" It's a good source of gobbledy-gook & poorly constructed sentences.
