It is a pet peeve of mine when people use the word “speak” in this way:
“How does the article speak to the needs of our profession?” or “Can you speak to the relevance of that?”
Agh! It makes me shudder. It’s the type of phrasing that gives the impression that someone is trying to sound academically impressive, so I am always incredibly UNimpressed.
Aside from this lackluster information, I am under the weather today. I feel my throat becoming scratchier, my head aching, and my general energy level below the norm. I’ve been supplementing with extra vit C, but it never provides a quick fix. Maybe I’ll try some salt water. Yuck.
