Enough!

posted on September 26, 2002

It’s time to stop using that purely marketing-created word “pre-owned”. Pre- is a prefix meaning before, prior to, in advance of. In other words, a pre-owned vehicle (or a pre-owned metal detector, or even, uh, pre-owned panties) represents something before any ownership is attached to it. In one further other word: new.

But we’re not using it that way, are we? Are we?!
