I’ve literally heard over 5 people over a few months (professionals in their fields) say FLUSHED out when referring to ideas or concepts. It drives me insane. I blame TikTok! No i have no idea what is causing it. My SO has noticed it as well.

    A friend of mine uses “generally” instead of “genuinely” and it requires all of my self control not to correct them every time.

      My girlfriend always uses effective when she means efficient. I tried to explain the difference several times, but I gave up.
