Now even the New York Times is screw­ing it up. Your atten­tion please: the word “ter­ror” is NOT equal to “ter­ror­ism” or “terrorist.”

A ter­ror attack is a symp­tom you can rem­edy by tak­ing Paxil. Ask your doc­tor if Paxil is right for you. See also “anx­i­ety attack” and “panic attack.”

A ter­ror­ist attack is a symp­tom of the long-term absence of mas­sive gov­ern­ment reor­ga­ni­za­tion and an undue accu­mu­la­tion of civil lib­er­ties. See also “act of ter­ror­ism” and “evildoers.”
