My pet peeve:….calling properties ‘homes’.
As in “Townhome”. FFS its called a “TownHOUSE”! ARRGGHH!
When did ‘home’ and ‘house’ become synonimous?
Is this just a US thing?
I’ve never heard of houses being called homes over in the UK, so is this just a portion of ‘realtorspeak’ that was assimilated without anyone knowing?
It makes me wince every time I see/hear it.
Same way that 40-year-old men refer to going to the toilet as going to “the little boy’s room”, or using “impact” as an adjective – ie “Impactful”…
