New York Times Bans 'Tweet'
Pretty funny how a Major Newspaper , Ban's a word used in peoples everyday life .
Sounds like somebody is a little jealous !
Foxnews
The New York Times writers were warned not to use the word "tweet," Sky News reported Friday.
As the use of Twitter continues to grow, words like "tweet" and "twittering" have increasingly cropped into everyday use.
But editor of The New York Times, Phil Corbett, said it was unacceptable.
He sent a memo to writers Wednesday telling them not to use the T-word, which he called "inherently silly."
"Some social-media fans may disagree, but outside of ornithological contexts, 'tweet' has not yet achieved the status of standard English," Corbett said in the memo, obtained by website The Awl. "And standard English is what we should use in news articles."
"Except for special effect, we try to avoid colloquialisms, neologisms and jargon. And 'tweet' — as a noun or a verb, referring to messages on Twitter — is all three."
The word tweet appeared 18 times in article in The New York Times in the past month, which prompted Corbett to put his foot down.

Heroin addicted elephant unfit for wild after rehab

Kunming (China), Oct 21 (Xinhua) An Asian elephant that spent three years in rehab for heroin addiction in southwest China has been declared unfit to be returned to the wild, zoo authorities have said.
The four-year-old elephant, Xiguang, was captured from the China-Myanmar border in March 2005 by illegal traders who fed him heroin-laced bananas.
Five other elephants along with Xiguang were also captured by the smugglers, but the animals were captured by police two months later.
Four of them, including Xiguang, were later sent to a wild animal protection centre in the southern Hainan Island.
Xiguang was cured of his addiction after a three-year treatment that included methadone injections five times stronger than human doses.
The four elephants were brought back to the Yunnan Wild Life Park last month and will spend the winter at the Xishuangbanna Wild Elephant Valley in Yunnan.
'Three years of domestic life and a huge amount of rehabilitation medication has changed the physical situations, odours and habits of Xiguang and the other elephants,' said Pan Hua, the park's deputy manager.
'They may become the target of attacks by other beasts if they are sent back to the wild. Some are easily irritable now and may hurt humans. They can't go back to the wild anymore,' he said.
The elephants will stay in the valley and be cared for by zoo keepers.
The Asian elephant is the largest land animal in the region, with an estimated 50,000 living in the wild throughout the continent.
