On a scale of new words I dislike, it's actually more annoying to me than "revert back" meaning "get back to you on that", which has a wry charm.

Mind you, I am still annoyed by people saying "addicting" when they actually mean "addictive", or "concerning" when they mean "a cause for concern".

So I'm really not a good judge. But it still has to go in the circular filing cabinet.

If we were better at keeping -ive suffixed words, we could have had concernive instead to shorten that phrase without misusing -ing. :)
