It seems to me that 'underestimated' is often being used when 'overestimated' is meant. The trouble is it seems always to happen when I'm only half-listening so I am beginning to wonder if I'm imagining it. Am I the only one ?

I will listen out. Is it on the News that you think this is being said?

I've noticed that too. Can't think of an example now though!
