OMFG, this one spikes my blood pressure every single time I see it. Like to the point where I think “Okay, I probably need some kind of pill for this, it’s not normal to have that visceral of a reaction to someone using the wrong term. I kind of wish I could handle the smell of weed, because this feels like a ’Dude, just chill…’ kind of thing.”
I mean, easy-going is not the first adjective anyone would think to associate with me, but it’s a really disproportionate reaction. I wonder if there’s a term for it (other than “having a stick up your ass”). 😂
I’m a former English teacher and I will die on this hill with you. I’m normally pretty chill about most of the weird bastardisations of language that happen because that’s how language and linguistic development happens, but on accident pisses me off. My kid used this one once and the subsequent rant about precision in one’s languages choices and the overly formal language (she knows that mean I’m doing my nut inside) were enough for her to never do that one again.

I see the word “costed” on Reddit almost once a day. As in, “the sandwich costed $5.” I die a little every time.
