tbhurst discovered 2 months ago- Does anyone else have as strong a hatred towards using the word 'impact' as a verb as I do? Well, despite our mutual distaste for the non-descriptive word it looks like it is hear to stay. :( From the page: "Nevertheless, the use of impact as a verb has become so common in corporations and institutions that younger speakers have begun to regard it as standard. It seems likely, therefore, that the verb impact will eventually become as usual as the verb contact has become over the last 30 years."
