The now widespread use of the word "concerning" to replace "worrying". It's worrying.
now you have reminded me how cross I was and sent me absquatulating into a darkened room....
Isn't concern a less aggressive/active/milder form or worry.
I am happy with "I am concerned about Tango's taste in poetry." or "Matty Taylor's lack of pace concerns me." (though, even then, it sounds like I am saying it "involves" me - which it doesn't!)
what irritates me is the "ing" form of the word at the end of a sentence..
"Taylor's lack of pace is concerning" It kind of sounds unfinished... concerning what?? ahh - you mean "worrying"!

Angry about today's date Friday 13th....
1. Alarm clock re-set itself during the night (must have been a power surge or power cut)
2. Only 1/2 the trains running because of a broken down train
3. New roadworks meaning that the bus from the station to work went a completely different route and missed out my stop
4. ATM swallowed my card
what next today?
