And then my new all time favorite.........."FUNCTIONALITY". Why add
"ity"? I don't recall ever hearing that word prior to 5 years ago.

Same thing Leon - functionality has always been a valid word.


I have never ever heard the word before 5 or so years ago and like
utilize function fill the bill just fine. Over glorification.

"functional" is an adjective, "functionality" is a noun.

Something _is_ functional; functionality is a property of, say, a set of
tools.

It's grammar, Leon...
