There's a couple of words I find irritating :- Premise and Sellable.
I see things like "The premise has been burgled" or "An intruder was arrested on the premise".
I increasingly see a building referred to as a "premise" (or premis). The word is Premises. OK, it's a plural word but is still used to describe a single building. (After all, it is comprised of several rooms?).
As to "Sellable", I can see some argument there but when speaking about something offered "For Sale" it's surely more correct to say that it is "Saleable?" For instance "The item is in saleable condition".
I see "sellable" being used in the context of a house or building sale but it's offered "For Sale" not "For Sell"?
It's life Jim, but not as WE know it.
Live long and prosper.
