It's funny how terms come in and out of use. The latest term I hear and see very often is "price point." What's the matter with "price"? "Price point" should be reserved for manufacturers and marketers, people who have to decide how much to charge for an item. "Price" is how much a customer pays. I just read a review of a product, and the buyer said it was very good for that price point.
I once commented on the lack of Velcro in a camera bag, and the company representative replied that they had to consider how much Velcro they could use for the price point they were aiming at. Correct use!
Why use one word when you can use two and be less accurate?
And why resort to a foreign phrase when you can find a good quid pro quo?
Reminds me of a George Carlin routine about unnecessary words, like sportscasters who say "it's a fourth down situation" instead of just "it's fourth down".
It's a neat buzzword to impress people.

Yeah, like crop factor, when I snapped a bird in my camera view it as a dimension, and nothing else.

Apparently, the fact that the Home Secretary needed to know was not known at the time that the now known need to know was known, therefore those that needed to advise and inform the Home Secretary perhaps felt the information he needed as to whether to inform the highest authority of the known information was not yet known and therefore there was no authority for the authority to be informed because the need to know was not, at that time, known or needed."written by Anthony Jay and/or Jonathan Lynn.

Why do so many people start a sentence with "So"? Especially when writing a sentence.
