Subject: RE: BS: Language Pet Peeves
We've had a labour issue involving an airline company dominating our local news for the past week or two - and spokespersons from said company keep expressing concern and sympathy for their "guests". A "guest", apparently, is what was once known as a "customer" or, to be slightly precious, a "patron". If I'm a "guest", why are you charging me for every little convenience?
