Another persnickety post by yours truly . . .

Have you noticed that people are increasingly using the world "legitimately" incorrectly these days? I think people are confusing it with the word "genuinely". And it's not just millennials either. I'll hear fully grown and educated people say something like "I was legitimately amused" or "heartbroken" or some other emotion. And I don't think they mean to express so much that their emotion was justified by the circumstances as that it was subjectively real and deeply felt.

I don't know. I'm waiting for some lawyer in the Newcastle to return my call and thought I'd drop by and a vent a bit while I wait. Love his secretary's accent, by the way.
