Another correct use of the word "hero" IMHO, rather than footballers, racing drivers, and other self-styled celebrities.

Quote from link - "One called the victim a "true hero" describing the attempted rescue as "a true act of bravery" and an "amazing act of kindness to save two other lives".

So for you, is casual use of superlatives and hyperbole the most annoying thing in the history of the world ever?

It is a shame that they now have to add 'a true hero' to stories about genuine heroism, to differentiate it from all the bogus ones that the media foist upon us.
