“Bush, Hu agree to disagree”. “Agree to disagree” – a phrase that for some reason grates on my ears. Others:
Still friends
Just big-boned
Fighting for peace
Spending cuts
Tax simplification
Activist spokesman
Insurgents attacked / killed / blew up ……
Hospitalized for exhaustion
Resting comfortably
Resigned to spend more time with his family
Resigned due to a difference of opinion
Resigned to pursue other interests
I am resigned…..to the futility of complaining about these word usages. Thanks for listening.
