Epidemic of ‘kids’

Thu., Sept. 27, 2012

I need to write this letter just to get it off my chest. I have noticed many times media personnel use the term “kids” when talking about “children.”

This has become an epidemic, and no one seems want to do anything about it, so I’m going on record as the first person to complain about it.
