For me "leverage" instead of "use" is like nails on a chalkboard.

- usage instead of "use" (they are different words)

- quantify/fication instead of "measure/ment"

- problematic instead of "a problem"

- such that instead of "that" (the correct usage is as a phrase that comes from math proofs, "pick an x such that y")

  • > problematic instead of "a problem"

    I think this one comes out of a fear of or desire to avoid confrontational language in general in the US. Something can be called problematic without declaring “a problem exists”.

    What, you got a problem?! :)
