'Thank you, Nam'
Grammar has become the latest victim of the War on Terror. In an move inspired by George Bush's announcement of more than 20,000 extra troops to 'finish the job' in Iraq, journalists have begun calling the conflict 'Iraq-nam' after the long and ultimately failed war in Vietnam. Not all journalists are happy, however. 'We can't let all failed conflicts end with the suffix 'nam' as all scandals end with 'gate', no matter how ludicrous it sounds,' said one. Fears that terms like 'Afghanistan-nam' and 'Iran-nam' could become common place have caused journalists from around the globe to boycott any media organisation caught doing so.
