English has lots of words that mean mostly the same thing. Do you seethe at every entry in a thesaurus? How does one determine which word is blessed by the higher minded beings you choose to exclusively associate with?

I don’t usually seethe, it’s more like remote embarrassment. I think there is a German word for that. I often recommend a “non-hire” as well.

Edit: I changed “non hire” to “non-hire” because I have no personal issue with acknowledging my usage of improper punctuation. Why should it be controversial to point out usage of improper vocabulary in others?

FYI, non-hire is the type of phrase that should be hyphenated.
