A pet peeve

posted by [personal profile] janetmiles at 11:12am on 06/07/2009
I really dislike "grow" as a transitive verb except for agricultural crops. "She grows corn and wheat" is fine; "we are growing our business" makes my brain itch.

I don't mind it as an intransitive verb. "The business is growing" sounds fine to me.
