No. I was afraid it might when we got back together last year, but neither finger picking nor holding a pick requires making a fist, which is when I have problems.
I know I'm an old-fashioned fuddy-duddy, but I just can't help grinding my teeth every time someone uses "impact" as a verb. I access the internet and google things all the time. I also text people, and I research information, so I have no excuse, but "impact" still gets me for some reason.
But Benjamin Franklin complained about the same thing two hundred years ago.
"During my late absence in France, I find that several new words have been introduced. From the noun
notice a new verb
noticed was produced. Also
advocate led to
advocated, and
progress to
progressed."
-Benjamin Franklin, letter to Noah Webster
