No single word in the English vocabulary grates against me more than when I hear owners of residential property refer to it as "units".
It's so dehumanizing. Rather, it's monetizing humanity.
Indeed. This euphemism triggers easily.
Reminds me of "human resources". My experiences with HR have also been largely negative. They're there to protect and make sure the humans are a resource to the company, not for the humans and humanity.
You can't spell humanity without unit after all.
You might want to inspect those words again
