    Hate it when they use the word "pro - ject" for any tiny bit of knitting etc. It is a pair of gloves not a great work! Was on the ravelry forum a while...

    Yes, they're inclined to 'talk up' everything. When I visited Connecticut a few years ago, my host advised an early night (8pm!!!) one evening, as he had a project the following day. We had the bookshelf hung by 10 the following morning.

    I know this is the oldies section but I didn't realise some of us used to use quill and parchment ;)

    I do not recall my quill ever getting a malware virus nor refusing to write because I forgot it's password. Lovely times.

    Overuse of the word 'venue' ...please :rolleyes: ...pretentious much?

    Something as simple as a picnic at a park is now considered 'planning an event at a venue.'
