This week’s high horse:

Just because something is a good idea, or a tip, doesn’t make it a “hack.” “Hacking” means taking something and altering it in a way, whether that’s to be more useful/aesthetically pleasing/whatever. It’s for things that show true resourcefulness, like, I don’t know, making tables out of doors, or changing computer code, or something. It’s not a “hack” to find sale prices on furniture, or use Mod Podge to redecorate an Ikea stool, or buy bottled water for cheaper. That’s just silly.
