Horrible, horrible, horrible!

I've just heard the H.Samuel's Christmas Advert - "It feels good to gift"

NO, NO, NO! "Gift" is a noun, the verb is "Give". It's a perfectly good verb, it isn't difficult - so USE it!!


Sorry, I'll calm down now

And why do they all say 'for free?'
It's 'Free!' okay
why bother adding unnecessary words

When people use the wrong word they should have the humidity to apolgise

So how do you feel about regift?

For what it's worth dictionary.com list both as verbs and nouns although they put noun first for gift and verb first for regift!

Relax, words are just words, it is the essence of what you feel when you gift that is special.

My sister is a ‘Regifter’
Which was fine until she gave someone a calendar
My sisters are awful for bulk buying everyone the same gift

I feel your pain, macliam. I blow my top every time is see things like this Giles's when it should be Giles'.

I want to keep the apostrophe but only in its correct place

[kevinchess1]

Sounds like we will be debating the ‘Oxford comma’ before long
I’m against it by the way
