Just heard on Radio 4 end of midday news that the millennials have hijacked the word “manifest” to use instead of “plan” like other words such as ‘curate’ is taken out of place to further reduce clarity of expression. From the optics of the piece I don’t think either speaker knows the engineer’s use of the word.
(yes I know but using ‘optics’ is typical of what they do now and I couldn’t think of another more suitable word to use out of place)
