Something else that really sucks (and I have a list) is people talking about their "homes."It's a HOUSE. You can go home, sure. In the abstract. "I'm going home." Fine. Go. But referring to a "home" in conversation when talking about the actual concrete place as in "We're having the chimney flashing on our home looked at..." is sickmaking in its fulsomeness. It conjures a vision of someone drinking their coffee with both palms around it in the early mornin' [sic], just waiting for word that young Jenny made it back to college safely, or some other 80s coffee commercial hokum. Just stop it!
