You got to be kidding me...

Rant: Gifting is the worst advertising-caused word coinage I can think of. It doesn't even make sense! If I give you something, it's called "giving", and the something is then referred to as a gift. You can't then go back around and say you're "gifting" it to the person. This is the worst example of bad english ever. I previously hated the substitution of "home" for "house" (RIP "what makes a house a home?"--now it automatically is) but gifting is way, way worse. And it's showing up more and more. Maybe the frogs were onto something with their anti-language butchering laws...
