    Why is the word MORE being so misused noawdays. Example -

    Agh, I had another one but can't remember it now. But the use seems to be on the increase.

    but its more than just branding, I hear those bastions of education and grammar use it with increased frequency (nearly said more there!) - DJ's, and in some cases, even news casters.
