alt Hacker NewsSorry, I just literally copied the title, which I didn't find to be misleading. Can you help me understand what is misleading about "pre-owned"? Isn't that just a well-known synonym for "used"?
If submitters are supposed to change the wording wherever marketing corpspeak exists, there will be a lot more changed titles, and perhaps not always for the better.
Oh I agree. This is a fine-grained nuance and what you submitted was just fine. I didn't mean to imply otherwise and am sorry if it came across that way!
Sometimes it's only when the commenters start reacting to a title that we even find out that there's an issue.
