Mine is that at my age (barely made it into Gen Z on the old end) I just found out today that a Bo Weevil is an insect (beetle) and not some kind of mole or similar rodent.

    I can understand why it might bother some people, since it’s kind of like “literally”, where the “new” definition is the opposite of the “traditional” definition, and we already have perfectly good words to fill in for the new definition.

    I also dislike how “apparent” means “clear” or “obvious”, but I’d been using “apparentLY” to mean “allegedly”.

    But thank you for the affirmation that I was using it in “one” proper way!
