ugh, yes..horrible, horrible...
when you can address a range of items with a relevant and related linear denotation throughout

My record review pet peeve is the form, "everyone from X to Y." Like, "The
new Radiohead album references everyone from Eno to Pearl Jam." Now, to
me, the form of the sentence should define a linear spectrum. Who (and
granted I made this one up quickly) exactly LIES on the line from Eno to
Pearl Jam?
Rolling Stone uses this form all the time and I never fail to cringe.
