Does anyone else feel like words are losing meaning? Everything from using "Literally" when you mean "Figuratively", or an over use of words like "crazy", "insane", "wicked" and "evil".
Perfect example? The last few days at work, I've been conversing with a lady who has been telling me that charging $41 for 2nd day shipping is fraud. Now, the definition of fraud is "deceit, trickery, sharp practice, or breach of confidence, perpetrated for profit or to gain some unfair or dishonest advantage." Which, in a loose interpretation, could work. Maybe a breach of confidence. Maybe. But the only other way it would be fraud is if we shipped it and it took more than 2 days to get there. In which case, absolutely. But do you know how expensive it is to ship things via Express Mail? It costs me almost that much. And in some cases more. So she can take her fraud and...stick it where the sun don't shine.
Have I mentioned how much I absolutely love Christmas shoppers? They're my favorite.
