What has happened to our language that a word can just lose a letter? One of my biggest frustrations lately is people mispronouncing the word frustration. IT'S NOT FUSTRATION!!! People come on, read a book once in a while; take a class; do something to keep that brain sharp. The word doesn't come from the same root as fuss. One of the definitions is "preventing progress." Hello. Do you get the irony?
