[Ads-l] A newish construction and a newish euphemism

[W Brewer]

I, on the other hand, am shocked -- shocked, I tell you! -- that the
Hollywood stars are actually referred to as "actresses Felicity Huffman and
Lori Loughlin" (by both Washington Post & FoxNews)! One would have thought
that the word "actress" had long since been wished to the cornfield.
