R69, don't forget "swap out", commonly used by cooks: "If you don't like walnuts, you can swap out pecans".

Which brings me to "substitute" being misused at least 99% of the time: "I'm allergic to cranberries, so I substitute them for blueberries"; "The cheese in the recipe was too expensive so I substituted it for a combination of cheeses I had on hand"; etc. The word is mutating into something that means the opposite of what the writer intends to say.

I hate “based out of” when people mean “based in.”

“I’m a visual artist and musician based out of Austin, TX.” I don’t know what possesses people to say that, aside from hearing/reading other people saying it. It’s like they’re thinking of a TV or radio station that’s based in one city but broadcasts its signal out to the other towns surrounding it, maybe?

This idiot needs a remedial course in logic, mind-reading and an understanding that cliches sometimes can be taken literally or spoken honestly.

All the "my truth", "my lived experience" type expressions are bullshit peddled by SJWs and people like Harpo. I even had an argument about it with a journalist acquaintance who said something about how her responsibility was to report "the victim's truth" in stories about rape or sexual harassment allegations. She is not concerned about reporting whatever facts can be ascertained, only about taking sides and reporting her favored side's "truth". Unprofessional nonsense.
