I’d like to get rid of “gift” used as a verb.
or “wife” being used as a verb too.
There is no such thing as someone being “wifed up”. Only trashy people use that phrase, but it is seeping into the lexicon of women in their 20s.
“I’d like to get rid of “gift” used as a verb.”
Amen, and add “incent” and “incentivize”
and many others which are really grating...
Maybe we should start an ongoing thread about these,
a la “Word of the Day”
