      What jargon from your field gets used wrong in a way that bothers you, or pulls you out of something you're reading/watching? For instance: Circa means "approximately." It's a good guess. It doesn't just mean "I'm about to say a date in the past."

      Oh, here's one. Not my field, but Y'all A quantum leap is very, very, very small. That's the point of it. Stop using it to mean a huge and swift advance, ESPECIALLY politically, you're accidentally being more accurate than you mean to be.

          Like... we know where the cases came from. We warned you they would happen. This is not a small change happening suddenly, this is a huge and obvious change happening while being continuously commented upon.https://twitter.com/Suntimes/status/1377338678935056386?s=20 …

          Illinois’ COVID-19 uptick took another step up Wednesday as Chicago’s "quantum leap" in cases raised more concerns of a potential third surge of the virus, officials said. https://bit.ly/3rBIItP

          Oh, fuck, if we're gonna have "using tools wrong" we'll be here all night. A personal bugaboo - seeing modern horse tack (including stirrups) on anything set in Europe before the ~700s. Vikings, Romans, whatever.https://twitter.com/kingnewbs/status/1378568200959500288?s=20 …

          It isn't jargon but I I've never seen a cardiac defibrillator used correctly. A defibrillator shock doesn't restart your heart, it STOPS your heart to jolt it out of a life-threatening rhythm. The idea is your heart will restart itself, because that's what they do.❤️

          That's the equivalent of driving a Sherman tank through a civil war battlefield, y'all.

          Y'all, if you're gonna make arguments about descriptivism vs. prescriptivisim, consider as descriptivists that it's impossible to use words "wrong" as long as you're understood, and the entire premise of the conversation is invalid, And walk away happily correct without posting.

          But doesn’t it refer to a jump in something with no interim position? The particle is in one place, then another.

          weird animal shouty guy Retweeted Chicago Sun-Times

          Yes, that'd be a fair interpretation, but is rarely the metaphor being used. The Covid cases in Chicago, for instance, most recently - this isn't "no interim position," it's just an entirely predictable delayed result.https://twitter.com/Suntimes/status/1377338678935056386?s=20 …
