Here’s A Neat Post From My Money Blog:
Have you heard of the Olympics Hangover? It’s when you stay up way too late watching “just one more event” and end up being red-eyed and unproductive the next day. So to counteract this, I used the public library for the first time in a long while. Funny thing: childless friends and co-workers had no idea where the library was. Only the parents did, since their kids use them. Why do we stop using the library as we grow older?
Why utilize?
I have to wonder why the blogger felt it necessary to turn the good, clear, three-letter word “use”–which appears frequently in various forms within the entry itself–into the fancy polysyllabic seven-letter “utilize” in the headline.
I don’t utilize my library. I do use it, though…
Ah well, gotta go orientate some folks as to how Englishing is done good.
why not?
I don’t know what the problem is. It’s a perfectly cromulent word.
