My pet peeve is the standard of writing "Buy" on the ad, "Buy" on the button, and "buy a license to use under the following terms" in the thousand word TOS document which no one reads. "Lease" would be more honest.
- soganess 6y agoAgreed! We are eroding the meaning of many words that we use to describe ownership and the exchange of goods + services. My sophomoric interpretation has always been that when your economy is shifting to being more service-centered that trend seems inevitable... but crud if it is not disconcerting.
