This is only slightly apropos but I've been meaning to kvetch this kvetch for a long time.

I AM SO SICK OF HEARING EVERYBODY USE THE WORD "multiple" ALL THE TIME.

What happenned to "many"? And other acceptable synonyms for "a lot", etc.?

Does anybody besides me notice that "multiple" has taken over the language? A time before it was constantly in use? VeryAngry Bang Head

No, I don't use it so I guess I don't notice it.
