A number of movies have been released just in time for spring break. I have watched with amusement as the critics have taken aim at movies like My Big Fat Greek Wedding 2 and Batman vs Superman. The website Rotten Tomatoes rates films with its Tomatometer™ rating. According to the site the rating is “based on the published opinions of hundreds of film and television critics – it is a trusted measurement of movie and TV programming quality for millions of moviegoers.

I make my living as a media production and communications consultant so it is natural that words are important to me. They are critical to communicate a message precisely, make sure that the tone is accurate and obtain the desired results. But words are funny things. Meanings can change over time. New words find their way into the dictionary (or Wikipedia). Some words disappear never to be spoken again.
