All inadequate English people are using amount now when they should be saying number. For example, they say there is a large AMOUNT of people ... Of course it should be a large NUMBER of people.
The 12 year olds at the BBC are now using the noun medal as a verb. That's such a stupid thing to do that I won't even illustrate it.
I am tired and bored of hearing how AMAZING things are at the Olympics too. I am sorry but it's impossible for EVERYTHING to be amazing.
