Especially sportscasters.
I have perspective. I know what's important and what's not so important. I like sports, especially baseball and football. But I don't consider them to be the major part of my life. My wife, my soon to arrive daughter, my day to day survival, that is what I find important. That is perspective.
Sorry. But we all the time hear people, especially sportscasters saying ,"This puts it all in perspective". The man shooting his lady friend and himself was indeed a tragedy. And it is entirely possible that it will reopen a discussion about gun control. But please don't tell me about "putting things in perspective."
