Now and again I hear a couple of modern takes on words which are irritating (to me anyway).
First, when refering to a building or buildings they used to be also described as "premises". eg "business premises" whether referring to one or more.
Now I constantly hear them referred to as "premis" (or premise) eg, "Shop premis". It sounds uneducated to me?
Another word I hear all the time is "sellable". I suppose that word has been used for longer but it always used to be "saleable" (some spelling were salable).
You got any more words that seem to have been corrupted by modern life?
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
