Gift: "He gifted me the car."

Dear MuscatGary,
"revert when it's used instead of reply."

It's VERY common in Indian English as in 'please revert to this email' but unfortunately is creeping into ME English due to the high number of Indian English teachers here. |

"You don't get to (insert verb here) blah blah blah!"
Said in righteous indignation when trying to reassert power in a relationship, where that power has been lost, or was never real to begin with.
Extremely annoying. |
