INTERESTING SURVEY ON WORDS

[yassmine2878 1]

I hate the word "food". It doesn't go with good things to eat.

After three days of ####### online, I hate the word "validate", too.

Agreed. My current peeve is the word 'pending'

I hate the C*** word. M.

What's the story with so many Americans hating the 'C' word?

I agree with Michelle on that as well.

I personally find it offensive, but my hubby says its used like normal language back home so i dunno

Yep.

Does anyone know why people find it more offensive here?

Because we have a much better word already in place: Hootie-bear. So much more benign and loveable.

Oh and for my biggest un-favorite word: Simular. No such thing! No such word! Quit putting letters in words that arent supposed to be there!

I hate it when people turn verbs into nouns and then use them as verbs again.

Examples:

"to lever" -> "leverage" -> "to leverage" (e.g. "leveraging technology")

"burgle" -> "burglar" -> "burglarize"

The worst one is "to architect". When I hear of people "architecting" something,

I want to architect my foot up their #######.

haha, architect your foot up their.... *ahem*

Anwyays, I actually like the C word. I can't say for sure why but probably for the reason that most don't like it. It's sooo naughty and it just sounds so... expressive!
