I mean we all know what a meteor shower is. Is there anyway to educate these people? They are supposed to be the ones reporting the news and educating others. I know this seems to be no big deal but think of it like this. Every time one of these ill informed media outlets makes a statement about a meteor fall and calls it a "shower" it's usually reported in the morning before most go to work or school. Work and school is where everyone including teachers spreads the false information like wildfire. Im just curious does this bother anyone else but me?
