My sensibilities have been assaulted three times today by the same 'word'. Both spoken (twice) and in print (once)
The offending word is 'warrantee'. As in '12 Month Manufacturers Warrantee', for example.
A warrantee is the person who is given a warranty - not the actual warranty itself!
Why is the word 'warranty' suddenly being pronounced with the same inflections as 'guarantee'?
It sets my teeth on edge
