Quick copywriting advice that can be deleted afterwards by that cunt Jeeves

Hey frogs, which is appropriate:

1. "However, as the global specter of terrorism increases...." (I used this initially)

2. "However, as the global specter of terrorism grows..." (leaning towards this)

3. Neither are proper uses of the word specter (I might be a moron)

My non-professional opinion would be #2. A "specter" being a singular thing makes "grow" sound more appropriate than "increase."

Seconded.

Two is nice. It makes the specter seem like it's alive rather than just an inanimate threat.

I'm with you. Leaning towards #2.

Thought so. Thanks a bunch, toads.

#2 also.

I was playing around with "global specter of terrorism" versus "specter of global terrorism," but your version works better.

Also, one of the definitions of specter is "object or source of terror." There may technically be some redundancy in using "specter of terrorism," but I don't think it's a problem.

Maybe, though I think one terror is an emotion and the other is like, a noun. Or something.
