MaJoC the Filk	BS: Language Pet Peeves part II (381* d)	RE: BS: Language Pet Peeves part II	22 Jan 24
New peeve: the abusage of "leverage", esp in non-financial contexts. It's easy to spot when English reporters have been miseducated by listening to too many Left-Pondian financial experts, as they pronounce it "levverage", rather than "leeverage" as Dr Johnson intended. In financial jargon, it very specifically refers to buying a firm with its own debt, eg the foghorn formerly known as Twitter.
