There has been an overwhelming tendency for radio newsreaders to use the word "underwhelm" recently.
Do others amongst you feel that, whilst it was a humourously effective perversion of "overwhelm" the first time it was used, that it poses a threat to the language? Or is it yet another evolution that we have to shrug our shoulders over and try not to wince too much each time we hear it?
