- anigbrowl 5y agoI hate that one too. I think it's meant to imply a sort of pioneering by making something usable which previously wasn't, rather than merely employing it like some plebe. I've noticed an inverse correlationation between pomposity and substantiveness.
- NathanielK 5y agoI had an english prof who'd take a mark off if you ever handed in anything containing "utilized". Now I see it every where.
