As for Steve's 'your bloody "prior to" or "albeit,"' (with the comma deliberately placed inside the inverted commas?), I quite like 'albeit' and I don't mind 'prior to'.
What I HATE is 'post' used instead of 'after'. I am quite happy with 'postwar', 'postprandial' (it means 'after dinner') and 'post-pandemic' but NOT 'post the pandemic'.

(and yes, I WAS shouting)
