A gift is free.

"gifted it to me".....(Grrrr!)

Whatever happened to "gave"?

To this day I refuse to use "impacted."

I wish people would stop turning every word into a verb.

"Progress" wasn't a verb until about 1900.

Yeah, I hate that.

I think that boomed after the “re-gifting” episode on Seinfeld.
