...as in Lockdown 2.0. it's like the general public have just come across the decimal point. Also found in movies such as Die Hard 4.0 and many other places I cannot recall right now.

Popular children's names annoy me.
Some have returned, like Hunter, Forrest, Storm etc. (and I'll find some more examples as and when) but right now, Braxxton, (a friend's grandchild's name) REALLY annoys me. The actual name is terrible enough but TWO 'x's!!! How does that change the pronunciation? 😡😖

The origin of this was almost certainly "Web 2.0", a floaty, meaningless, poncy term invented by a too-clever User Experience expert and later picked up by people who really should have known better - despite there being no versions between 1.0 and 2.0, making the decimal redundant, and there were also no new technological web standards adopted that would require actual versioning to ensure compatibility.
The "pioneers" of the early web were almost as bad for pretentious guff than the modern one, although it had a lot fewer telephone sanitisers, search engine optimisation gurus, influencers and brand recognition executives.

Just watching Simon Reeve in Cornwall, and after five minutes he's already used 'iconic', which he used three times last week, and 'ree-search' three times, rather than r'search, which is the way we do it over here. If he says anything else is iconic within the next 55 minutes I may throw something at the telly.

Fewer, there is no good reason not to use less.
