I’m so tired of every Tom, Dick, Harry, Salesperson and Advertising executive twisting phrases and language. All these feeble attempts to scare us or make us feel better are making me feel agitated.

 Allow me to give a few examples.

A house break in is now a home invasion

In the past we bought used cars, now we purchase pre-owned vehicles

Back in the day we would rent an apartment, now we lease an apartment

And here's one that really got me the other day, it was only last year we took day trips now we go on daycations.

Please, give me a break!

If it looks like a duck, and it sounds like a duck then it’s a duck. There’s no reason to call the duck the Web footed water prince of the daffy sea!
