“Oh, you didn’t know that?  Wow!”

“Oh, yeah that’s old news.”

It’s like we’re being discouraged from learning or discovering something new and then frowned upon for admitting we don’t know everything in the world.  The world is expecting everyone to be an expert in everything already.

So, I learnt a new word the other day as a result of a few tweets:

TV reporters refer to those they are interviewing (even if they’re a witness to a crime) as the “talent“.  It sounded rather weird to me, but I guess so do many words the first time you hear them to have a new meaning.

(I have of course heard of talent being used to refer to TV show hosts, reality show contestants and actors.)
