Pace when referring to any tv show or movie.
That TV show or movie is, like, totally pace, man.

Actually, pace indiscriminate logophiles, there are annoying ways to use the word "pace." (Also, "logophiles.")

Not sure if this belongs in the actions/trends thread or here, but whatever.

Can we put a stop to putting periods at the end of every word in a sentence?

As in... every time my son poops himself it smells like death.  Every.  Single.  Time.

 
This has now found its way into education as in "let's unpack these state standards".

This is a typical state standard:  "Students will be able to understand the causes and consequences of the War of 1812"

So now we have to fill out a form that "unpacks" what the standard is really asking for.   Of course  the hidden meaning behind "Students will be able to understand the causes and consequences of the War of 1812" is ""Students will be able to understand the causes and consequences of the War of 1812".

The form we fill out has 6 different steps.  The 6th step asks us to explain how we know the student successfully mastered the standard.  

So "students will be able to understand the causes and consequences of the War of 1812" can be broken down into "students will be able to understand 3 causes of the War of 1812 and 3 consequences of the War of 1812".  

Paradigms are shifting, my friends.

Well it's descriptive vs. prescriptive grammar.

 
You could make a whole thread of education specific terms and acronyms, most are just the same old #### repackaged as new so somebody can sell it.

Do you know how many meetings I've been in this year where a principal or school psych has said "drill deeper" meaning to test some potential high school drop out to get them help to shut up their parents, who caused this water head to start with.

Answer:  a lot.

 
Media and politicians using the word "threads" in describing let's call it what it is "back channeling" or just flat out fake news because they want to try and be first to impregnate the egg. 

They throw this around in conversation so basically anything can come flying out of their mouths without a worry about lying or being called out..."we just reported the threads, it wasn't really us"

Dont be a Swedish Fish
