Disagreeable

“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.
