Especially when it gets used by proper newspapers about proper news. The Independent seem to be doing it a lot. It feels like something broadsheets are going to do a lot of and further deepen a gulf (if you can deepen a gulf? de-bridge?)

Remembered a documentary about romance/love story readers and writers. Some of it focused on the husband of one of the readers. He was quite macho and he stood by his personal bookshelves with his arms folded and said "the male of the species likes to improve himself".
