I've given up on this one, but the use of "invite" as a noun instead of invitation. So now we're supposed to say, "I got an invite to the event." Do we use this even for wedding invitations? A wedding invite?
When the original artist seen it at first she just shrugged it off..Bet then she put a copy of the artwork, side by side, it was a "perfect digital match"..
There's a horribly racist, ridiculously bigoted page on facebook that I keep reporting. These are a few comments from that idiotic page:

Chalk it up to the American penchant for shortening words. In your example, invite would be pronounced "in'-vite, emphasis on the first syllable.
I doubt anyone would use it on a formal invitation, though.

Along these lines, it bothers me somehow the way the word "shame" is now being used constantly. They "shamed her", "shaming people". It may be proper, but it doesn't feel like it is.
Anyone care to either correct me or help me understand why it doesn't sound correct?
