What’s the difference (besides the letter d) between “get use” and “get used”? None that a certain T-shirt printer could see, reported NewsOK last June. Several track meet competitors showed up wearing shirts with “get use to the view” printed across the back.
Good thing it was the back. Anyone who spends money on something like that ought to be ashamed to show his face.
Use as a verb means “to put to work”: “All the rich and famous use our product.” As a noun, the word means “a purpose for” or “practical application”: “You’ll get years of use out of our product.” But in the verb sense of “become accustomed to,” you urge consumers to “get used to seeing us on top-10 lists.”
Are you putting “use” to proper use?
