A friend made up a word for waiting around for someone else to give up (or possibly throw away) something you want. This is known as “vulching”- i.e. behaving like a vulture. In New York, one is very likely to vulch a parking spot.
Not to be confused with 'manglement,' which is like 'management,' but with added micromanagement from superiors, who use their petty power to snarl up a business's smooth work flow.
Is "Orientate" the new buzz word for "orientation"? I'm not familiar with "desirement". Back to orientate, the fancy fad fellas would love to have used "vacate" for "vacation", but they were stuck when realizing that "vacate" already is a word.
Things required vs things desired are requirements and desires (but people say desirements). Allow me to help you get properly oriented (but people say orientated). I don't like these invented words but they seem to be catching on.
Well, orientate has been a recognized word in use since the mid 1800's, almost 200 years. So, it looks like it is here to stay. ..
My research came up with use of the word "orientated" back in the 1800s, as well. Also in the Merriam-Webster dictionary and the Cambridge University dictionary.
Here's one I don't understand...why say "Instantaneously" when you can just as well say "Instantly" and mean the same thing?
