The Answer

Ok, look, it has to stop. Adding the word “solution” to the end of things does not make them better or more important. Once, I saw an ad for a three million dollar yacht that described it as “your cruising solution”. I laughed. When was that ever going to be a problem? But I’m seeing the use of solution everywhere, now.

A storage solution is still just a box. An entertainment solution, while sounding like an answer to an insoluble puzzle, is a telly. And an industrial cleaning solution is not a bucket of chemicals, as much as that would make sense. It’s a guy with a broom.
