Lately I've noticed a lot of people using "serviced" when they mean "served," and boy it is starting to get really hard to keep a straight face.
In a staff meeting the other day, my wife's boss talked about how their role in that department of the company was to service the clients. My wife started laughing, and made a joke about how her salary should go up if that's the case---AND NOBODY GOT IT---and they all happily continued talking about servicing the clients!
Have you noticed an increase in this usage?
