Sound and fury
8:00am Monday 15th March 2010 in
I notice in newspapers, including the Echo, people who have some form of complaint are invariably “furious”.
At one time we Brits used to be “concerned”, “irritated”, “rather annoyed” and ultimately “very cross indeed” – or furious.
Do I assume that in the modern world people are angry as a norm and the first stage of displeasure is therefore furious?
Must be the answer I guess!
