Maybe I'm being unreasonable and very menopausal but there are words that are getting under my skin.
* "Co-worker" seems to be a new word for colleague.
* "Super" this and "super" that instead of "very" or "huge", etc.
* "Denied", e.g. as in "he/she was denied entry" - instead of "refused entry", or other cases where the world "refused" would make more sense than the word "denied".
* Where has the word "donated" gone to. It's now "gifted".
* I get confused when reading a newspaper or magazine article where people are now referred to by their surnames only without the Mr/Mrs/Miss/Ms. I lose the plot as to who is who . I'd prefer to referred to as Mrs Surname or my first name.
There are other words too, but I can't think of them now.
Rant over. Sorry!
Is it me or am I getting mixed messages
