"New Low Price!" Which is always higher than the "Old Low Price", and the announcement is always delivered in a breathlessly cheery tone, apparently to denote how lucky you are to be paying more for the same old crap.
Any time the word "invest" or "investment" is made when the word "buy" or "buying" should be. As in: "I'm thinking of investing in a new bass." Good luck with that investment. If I could take a short position on that I would.
I think use of this word in this sentence is questionable. Hot water that has been poured over the ashes of what was once coffee, perhaps. Nothing like a steaming hot cup of Charbuck's.
The any-noun-can-be-verbed phenomena grew directly out of this. When "impact" became a verb it was the death-knell for concise language skills in corporate communication.
As someone mentioned "near mint" earlier... Currently described as "Epiphone by Gibson EB-O Bass Guitar. Mudbucker coil tapped Humbucker. Nr Mint" on eBay
Epiphone EB-O short scale 30" bass.
Thoughtfully modified with a coil tap on the humbucker pickup.
This means you can either get the full fat Jack Bruce tone with both coils - or you can go to one coil by the push / pull tone pot and get a less boomy tone more like a P bass.
As well as the pull / push pot, marker rings have been added to the volume and tone pots as well as new vintage style vol / tone knobs.
It's finished off with a finger rest on the Pickguard, nice vintage looking touch.
The finish on the bass is near mint cherry red on the real hog body and neck.
Great neck, no wear to frets.
One of the tuning pegs has been replaced, it looks virtually the same as the rest. There are some marks on the Pickguard but that's from the protective film which has only just been removed!
A very usable short scale bass. Great range of tones, easy to play and in stunning condition.
Thanks for looking.
Errr, that's not awfully near in my book.Thoughtfully modified with a coil tap on the humbucker pickup.

Use of the word "product" in place of "service." Banks and insurance companies do not sell products. They sell services. At some point in the last few years, those industries have made an intentional attempt to redefine those words.
Use of the word "product" in place of real cheese.
