Something truly "preowned" would be something that had not yet been owned, which in the most generous meaning would mean brand new (although, not really because ownership is assumed to be with the manufacturer until they sell it, correct?).

Car dealers do that all the time. Of course, we are talking about car dealers :rolleyes:

"Pre-" the prefix and "Previously" the adverb do not mean the same thing!

I mean, there's language as play, as poetry, as physical/mental sound, but there's still language as a means of communicating specific notions and realities, a means of defining "truth".

A blurring of the language intended to lull consumers into the cloudy complacency of mental atrophy is certainly to be expected, but it is precisely because of its inevitability that it should constantly be called out. It is but one tool of the predator.
