Does anyone else find substitutions for familiar words very jarring?
For example, we no longer leave somewhere, we 'exit' it (and I always read 'exiting' as 'exciting'
because for me, the final t should be doubled before adding the 'ing'). 'Change' becomes 'transition,' 'given' becomes 'gifted' and 'because' becomes 'due to' (which is a dubious synonym, anyway).
And I loathe 'utilised' instead of 'used' 
When I read articles using words like this I find it really hard to concentrate on what is being 'said' as I'm so distracted by the 'wrongness' of the words...
