The worst ones are when people invent a word when there's already a really really common word that they definitely know about, that means the same thing.
Every day in my current job I hear people saying things like "it's a big ask" and "what learnings can we get from that?" and I just want to blurt out LEARNINGS? DO YOU REALIZE YOU SOUND LIKE ONE OF THE TROLLS FROM THE HOBBIT?
Is it too much of an askings for people to learninate.
- nivertech 4y agoWhy to derive a new noun from the verb when there is the already perfect noun for that? To the countrary noun-to-verb conversions makes much more sense. I think it's a problem in English, where you can convert verb to noun and back to verb and back to noun, etc. etc. to learn (v) -> [I'm] learning (v) -> learnings (n) google (n) -> google [it] (v) -> [I'm] googling (v) -> [the process of] googling (n)
