Oldsters remember the use of “xerox” as a verb.

More immediately, since we’re sharing: how about the misuse of “mandate” to mean “require” when the word really has more to do with the granting of authority.

And another Covid-related place to start might be with the very simple difference between “less” and “fewer”

I’ve never liked the word “party” used as a verb.
