Language moves on, but it's supposed to find BETTER words, not worse ones! How is 'drop' an improvement on 'release' or 'publish'??? And it tends to be used by older journalists who just sound desperate to sound trendy. It really, really gets on my nerves! Does "Drop" mean it falling in the charts or it's being released ? I tend to avoid modern trends and yes I wore flannel shirts long before the hipsters did. Fossil journalists are dire and they love olding on; whilst younger journalists are so biased and stick to their narrative. (Fake news} I'm sure society is getting dumber by the day; I cringe when I hear today youth's try to talk in Califorinan slang/drawl.

Wyot	I interviewed a woman years ago who was late and had not brought the required ID docs. Her explanation for this was that her cat had eaten her passport... Alas, she was not successful in her application...

Of course she didn't get the job 🙄. It went to someone who spoke like Ian Carmichael and Audie Murphy. In other words very elegant tone of voice and wonderful mannerisms.
