I'm fully aware of the fact that this is purely a sign of middle age encroaching on me combined with me being a picky git but there are a few changes in language usage that seem unnecessary, born out of ignorance and just generally annoy me.
These changes include but are not limited to:
"At the moment" being replaced with "at the minute"
"Subconcious" being entirely abandoned and substituted with "unconcious" (unconcious used to mean that you were in a dormant state, subconcious was used to describe everything happening on a level under conciousness)
"Bring" being used instead of "take" (this one is an Americanism that seems to be catching on)
"Second guess", what is wrong with saying "doubt"?
There are many more but if I'm not boring you yet I soon will be.
Am I alone in this?
