MODERATORS
Utilize, when they mean Use.
and they even have subtly different meanings that the talker often doesn't seem to realize.
you use something for what it's meant for. use a bucket to carry water.
you utilize something for something it works fine for, but it's not really the intended use. you utilize a shoe to prop opena window.
