"Education"

[peristaltor]

Education is crucial; I doubt anyone could seriously deny this. But the term "educate" has been lately appropriated most inappriately by masses of English "speakers" who deprive the word of its meaning with use both sloppy and pompous.

All too often, I hear of folks going out to spread the word, to pontificate, to preach, but claiming to educate
