A recent entry in John's By The Way got me to thinking. (dangerous stuff, my thinking) When did cars go from being "used" to "pre-owned'? And why are they "certified" now? Do we need to know that they are "certainly pre-owned?" And what about clothes? When did "old" become "vintage"? When did "old" become "retro"?
And, why, if you won't shop Goodwill or Salvation Army, but if it is called a "thrift" store or a "consignment" store that's ok? What is the difference?
