More People I’m Sick Unto Death Of
28 Sep 2011 / PEAnyone who uses the word “surface” to mean “put forward for consideration,” e.g., “I’d like to surface a topic.”
If you must use “surface” as a verb, I’m okay with you surfacing a driveway or surfacing a submarine, but if you’re going around surfacing topics, then you really need to leave the world immediately . . .

Amen. If only that were the most egregious language foul currently in popular rotation. Providing “texture” to a discussion point is also a common occurrence. “Can you provide more texture?” No, because I’m not surfacing a driveway, I’m putting forth an idea for consideration.
