14. He must have learned a new word.

In his first term, he would talk about "looking at [a thing] very strongly." That used to drive me nuts, because I've never heard anyone but himself ever use "strongly" that way (or at all, really).

I feel silly talking about a minor annoyance right now, with all the horrible stuff that's going on, but that used to be one of my pet peeves. If he nw wants to say "intently studying" instead, maybe I can focus my anger in a more appropriate direction!
