It's Called Hyperbole and It's Intentional Exaggeration to Mislead

___The current "they are trying to draft our daughters and girlfriends" argument reminds me of Gore's "the Arctic ice is melting; polar bears will die; and Miami will be under 20 feet of water." This is intentional exaggeration calculated to mislead. There is no draft, and Congress would have to act to reinstate it. Miss USA says that women can perform as well in combat as men. I am sure that she is talking about Ziva David of NCIS instead of June Cleaver of Leave It To Beaver! Gore was right that some ice melted due to summer sun and some polar bears died. There has been an increase in polar bears, and the streets of Miami are still dry - except when it rains.

___People who communicate should avoid false generalizations and intentional exaggerations. I am amazed at the apparent ignorance of English by the media - particularly using adjectives when adverbs are required and the use of can and may. You wonder whether they are deceitful or just ignorant.
