Wow! an article with so many references to my home State of Michigan! Lake Superior State University is just a couple hundred miles down the beach from my house. It is located in Sault Ste. Marie, temporary home of Dr. Jack Kervorkian. At the TV station where I work, The news team reported the term was 'uniquely unique' -typical of TV news to spice up the story. Climax, Michigan is located in the lower peninsula and got its name when settlers who were moving west ended thier journey and settled down. - The climax of their journey.

Maybe so, but I'll bet that local stores in Climax sell a lot of souvenirs with the name on! 
Glad you liked the column. I've just finished this week's one, and there's a follow-up to the 'banished words' story at the end. I hope you enjoy that too!
