[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My pet peeve is how many educated people in my company use the word myself incorrectly. Such as when you're done writing your review send it to John and myself. No it is send it to John and me. I don't know who started this trend, but it has got to stop.[/quote] It's the same people who say "usage" (seriously, show me ONE place where "use" isn't just as good as and probably better than "usage,") and think "impactful" is better than effective. Nvm that impactful wasn't even a word until a few years ago. It's small-dick business majors adding extra syllables to existing words in an attempt to make themselves look important. I laugh at them derisively. Also, "orientate." As in, "let's get you orientated to the system." Was I not paying attention when "orient" was stricken from the dictionary?? [/quote] Or people who use “utilize” when “use” would be perfectly acceptable. [/quote]
