christ, the rise of the "impact statement" aka "write the press release for us"
― assert (matttkkkk), Saturday, 21 August 2021 10:38 (three years ago) link
Aren’t impact statements typically written for use in court to allow a victim of a crime to publicly state the impact of the crime on their lives? That’s how I know the term, or at least what I thought I knew

Sitting in interminable middle school in-service meetings right now. Just heard someone say v. urgently (re a schedule with recess on it) "We don't have recess at ____ School, we have wellness time."

I've started developing an irrational rage for anyone using the phrase "hump day".
I think it's because I associate it with 6music morning DJs, that kind of condescending "we're all one big family getting through the week together" motivational spiel that feels horribly insincere. It...sickens me.

I had never heard the phrase till it was used as the title of a film about two friends having sex, so that's all I hear it as.

Luncheon. Office managers have perverted this word to death.
I get that it is a formal lunch, and there are such things. But getting tacos brought in to the office (remember that?) or going out to eat around noon with some co-workers to discuss an upcoming project is not a luncheon.

Used to share an office with a guy who would rise from his desk every day at 1pm and announce he was "off for lunchingtons". Don't miss him, tbh.

‘fortnight’ when you really mean to say ‘two weeks’ but want to make something sound crenellated
― mookieproof, Monday, 6 September 2021 23:30 (three years ago) link
one of the reasons i love living in london is that i get to say 'fortnightly' (good) instead of 'biweekly' (bad)
― Tracer Hand, Monday, 6 September 2021 23:56 (three years ago) link
Everyone British says fortnight. I even looked up what crenallated means to check if it’s something we are all trying to appear and well I can’t decide now.

I know it has almost certainly been here many times before, probably I've posted it myself, but continue to be disappointed at how many people feel it is acceptable to ever say/write "monetize"

Sorry, not following you, this is something I come across all the time in podcasting, imagine it is the same for any "creatives"

Well it’s used in other contexts too, is the point, I guess. Monetizing users is a phrase endemic in tech business. On art, I suppose it’s an uglier way of the old “making a living out of it”. Biz should try that on for size. How do we make a living out of these free Bumble account holders?
― Alba, Tuesday, 7 September 2021 10:22 (three years ago) link
Right. Where I come across the word 'monetize' it's in the context of getting money out of subscribers who have signed up to some sort of free tier. The accepted business model for basically all of media publishing is to grow your subscriber base as big as you can and then figure out how to get money out of them. You don't really 'monetize' art - you sell it, or rent it, or whatever. You monetize audiences.
― Tracer Hand, Tuesday, 7 September 2021 10:24 (three years ago) link
I mean, this is all also bad, this is why every app pretends to be free then bombards you with ads which you "accidentally" click on. And of course I know that this is the fault of capitalism and lack of regulation rather than individuals, but it would just be better if people were less gung ho about going along with it.
― fc_TEFH28mo (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 7 September 2021 10:34 (three years ago) link
"creatives" is way way way way worse than "monetize" -- though in the context of art, it makes me think ... "make it like monet" which then leads me to the relations between impressionism / modernism and contemporary capitalism, as opposed to industrial capitalism, and then I think of how many posters and totebags exist and have existed with pictures of Monet's artwork ... whereas "creatives" makes me just feel like vomiting.
― sarahell, Tuesday, 7 September 2021 19:05 (three years ago) link
Yeah, it's really unfortunate when people refer to themselves as 'creatives'... sir, you've been co-opted by yourself
