I just got off the phone from sorting out a bill. The woman on the phone said she cancelled the incorrect portion, "but you still need to physically pay" however many dollars.
A computer trainer I know says stuff like "to get this to work you have to physically select the icon you want".
Aargh. Hate it. I guess it'll become like "manual" over time, ie. just an acceptable antonym to "automatic" rather than implying physical activity / manual labour, but to me it just sounds so wrong.
Anyone else got pet word hates they need to rant about?
