A Star snippet

Today in The Star got dis artickel that started out with:

The Klang Valley emptied yesterday as Malaysians travelling in more than a million vehicles left the conurbation to return to their hometowns for the Chinese New Year.

Okay. Let’s sit and reflect on that for a minute… because I don’t have a fucking clue what in the hell conurbation means. (I mean, I will after I post this and I look up the word. But really… do you use words like that in a news article? chyoh!)
