Since when...

The football players who interject "you know" after every sentence. No, I don't know unless you tell me. And good old loose for lose. And break for brake.

Your right! Just like this example of the misuse of “you’re”.

I work in a large company, so management buzzwords get to me. Saying "You need to think outside the box" is one where they actually mean, get it done faster. One of our current ons is the word "colocation" to mean we want everyone sitting around together listening to each other's conversations just in case you have a better idea than someone else...

Dichotomy had a brief run some years ago. Now its umami - referring to food taste.

Reading so-called professional journalists' articles and seeing a malaprop or misspelled word. Too many are using their hand-held thingies with spellcheck and voice recognition, not proofing before submitting. Leads me to believe the editors have all gone to sleep. Or been dismissed due to budget cuts.

As for pronunciation, that's colloquially (geographically) dependent. Tomato~tomatoe... It's come to a point where <queue David Gates, "Bread"> "it don't matter to me" anymore. I just inwardly cringe.

To quote Captain James T. Kirk: "It is easier for a civilized man to behave like a barbarian, than it is for a barbarian to behave like a civilized man."

Close, It was Spock at the end of the episode "Mirror Mirror".

Spock: ​

It was far easier for you as civilized men to act as barbarians than for them as barbarians to act like civilized men

Yes, I've watched too much Star Trek over the years... ​

 

[Darwin]

You can never watch too much Star Trek!!!!

'Nother one: "So I thought to myself..."

Who the heck else are ya gonna think to??!!

 

[DrEntropy]

Prefacing an answer with: "Look" then the yadda-yadda comment. Look at what, exactly?

 

[pdplot]

How about woke and looks, as in that affords some good looks.

 

[JFS]

At the end of the day, I fear we're going down a slippery slope here.

 

[pdplot]

No. We're going down a rabbit hole.
