Don't trust the link, but since when was "utilize" considered a better word than "use"? When did "functionality" replace "function? Since most Americans are lazier than ever, the tendency is to shorten words, not lengthen them: A bid failure is now a big "fail". An installation is an "install". An explanation is an "explainer". A press conference is a "presser". So what's up? Do those who use "utilize" think they sound "more smarter" or "less dumber"?
