How I dislike the first course of a meal described as 'starters'.
There must be a nicer name: first 'course' sounds better, I think, even if it sounds unimaginative. Some other words and expressions that are creeping into our language also strike a jarring note, and one that annoys many people is 'at this moment in time'. What a silly way to say 'now' or 'at present'. Perhaps I am being to critical, though?
