Ah, are you British? This is North American usage. Here is the New Oxford American English dictionary’s definition, second sense:
> North American at any moment; very soon: my husband will be here to pick me up momentarily.
Now that you know that this is correct usage of the word, perhaps it will be less distracting the next time you see it used that way.
- robertlagrant 6y agoIt's worse than I thought, then.
- klodolph 6y agoI sympathize. Everyone has a few words or phrases with incorrect usages stuck in their heads. For me it’s “fall through”, which feels like it should mean the opposite of what it does mean. I think that idea got stuck in my head because of the phrase “come through”, which implies success.
