As a musician, one of my pet peeves is the use of the word 'crescendo' in printed works everywhere, as a noun meaning 'high point' or 'peak' -- when it is really the Italian word for 'growing' or 'increasing' -- I've forgotten the name of that part of speech, but it is a VERB, people. You are literally saying 'and then violence reached a growing' no no no. I blame a lot of the spelling errors, particularly of foreign language words, to the sad fact that so few people seem to actually read these days.
