I don’t want to sound alarmist here, BUT I am sick and tired of millennials destroying our language, like calling everything SURREAL, PENULTIMATE, and DECIMATED, for example. Now, I’m starting to hear them calling every increase “EXPONENTIAL” even though they have no idea what that is. I’m quite positive that exponential and geometric progressions aren’t taught in schools any longer. Make it stop!
Just be glad they don’t use ‘LOGARITHMIC’!...............................

I agree Umbragely in a Non Sequitor-like fashion, that isn’t capricious in the least. Unless of course you are feeling mellifluous at the time, then it’s Perfunctory to endeavor to verbalize in a Quagmire-lijke verbiosity that leaves one Flummoxed but Gregarious and Maudlin
I like to make up words so that i sound more smartilicious
