Oh for heaven's sake, have these writers never heard of a thesaurus? For example:

Nicely done!

A young woman walked into a bank, wanted to open an account. Because the amount was so large — $350,000 — she was directed to one of the managers.
“My,my, $350,000! Did you hoard all that money yourself?”
“No, my sister hoard half of it.”
