You'll never guess why this ticks me off...

There are lots of reaons why this article should annoy or even anger me. But I am sick of hearing this word "vet" in its verb form. For many years this has been a colloquialism that, as a verb, means "to subject to a veterinary examination." What idiot suddenly decided that it was better to say that someone or something has been "vetted" instead of "examined" or "evaluated?" Yeah, this kind of thing makes me see red. Silly, isn't it? As for myself, if someone ever tried to shove a horse thermometer up my backside vet me, I would consider it a threat of deadly force and respond accordingly.
