Words

Every so often a word comes into common usage, in the right or wrong context and can at times become annoying. Pre is one of my pet peeves and I would get tired of hearing people announce "it's no criteria" when something was up. My new best non-friend is "investment"
I am invited to attend a course, lesson, talk etc and my "investment" is only Rxyz.
Folks, it's not an investment, it's the cost of the event, just as that pre-owned car is in fact second-hand (or third).
