Oh yes, 'gifting' gives me indigestion! And 'utilised'.

What about 'obligated' instead of 'obliged'?

I love Pedants' Corner - a place to be a grumpy old woman without offending anyone by correcting them! Yiayia4, none of this is aimed at people with dyslexia. I think (hope) we can all make allowances for difficulties like that, but sometimes it's nice to have a good moan about the misuse of language.

I am renowned for being poor at spelling. I am somewhat dyslexic as are all my sons but I always cringe when I see ‘brought’ when it should be ‘bought’ but it is so often said.
