"Waging war against colloquialisms and the English language" is definitely NPOV because it's supported by random tweets, obviously RSes. Finally, none of the sources even mentioned "scientific backlash" and that would be laughable at any rate because PETA was saying overfeeding a horse *would* be a problem. undo Tag: 2017 wikitext editor
