What IS it with people trying to use big words these days? Half the time the words aren't really even appropriate for the situation anyway. Drives me bonkers! There is a medic that brings patients in from time to time and always says, "When I oscillated her lungs....." First of all, the word "listened" is quite appropriate but the word you are butchering is auscultate. Please leave the curatin' for the museum folk and other big words for those that can use them properly. Oscillated? Did he move her lungs back and forth? Thanks so much. Now I have a picture in my head of Willow Smith messing with a set of lungs like it's a fan. That could be the new summer hit song- "I whip her lungs back and forth. I whip her lungs back and forth!"

I must really live in a shell - I can't recall hearing anyone using the term curate. Now I will be all ears LOL Read the recent peas thread on not liking shopping, it was used in that many times

The use of the word bandwidth to describe time/schedule. "I can't volunteer at the banquet, I just don't have the bandwidth right now." I've heard multiple people use it referencing time and it irrationally annoys me.

Yet it still sounds uneducated. Go figure.

Agreed. It might technically be correct but it sounds pompous. If you're talking about fashion jewellery, shoes or whatever, what you're doing is collecting 🙂 There's a bell vaguely ringing in the back of my mind about someone saying they were curating something mundane, making it sound more than it was...big discussion ensued...was it the Peas?? ETA - got it! Pinterest! Someone on Pinterest banned someone from following her boards because they were pinning too many of her carefully curated ideas! On Pinterest Get over yourself

I have no opinion on curate.
However, please refer to your tax refund as a refund and not a return. You file a return. If you are lucky you receive a refund. You do not receive a return. Drives me nuts when I hear/see that.
Thanks. I feel better getting that out.
