Used to & Use to: Why do we say things like “it use to be that„ and “they're used to„ in place of things like “it once was that„ and “they're accustomed to„? It's profoundly offensive that a synonym for “utilize„ is shoehorned into serving these purposes.
I utterly despise acronyms, it is like engaging with a sms girl.
It also makes life very difficult for non native English speakers, however this might be a positive in your view, as it encrypts your language for outsiders.
We've certainly seen many a fbi agent stumble over internal know to know lexicon, so its usefulness can't be denied.
I also am somewhat annoyed by the ever increasing reach towards latin for language solutions.
But hey im just germanicist to the point of wanting words like control be written with a K and that that K is written as a ᚲ, but a bit enlarged obviously.
Feel you in a way though, especially on the use of use haha, and punctuation but again im not a native English speaker so i dont have much of centre point on it to begin with.
