The way things are worded

[Vee]

I just got an email from my electricity supplier announcing that my electricity prices are "evolving". They don't say increasing, or going higher. This is all very diplomatic and proper. The rates are "evolving", as if having to pay an extra 10% per month is a good thing...

Evolution makes it sound like something they have no control over. So you can't blame then for the increasing cost of your utilities.

Aye, you must pay.
Damnable evolution!

Reminds me of other duplicitous things people say....
Inflation Reduction Act
Affirmative Action
Mistakes were made
Arbeit Macht Frei
Higher in food energy <-- The positive way to say "more calories"
Single Christian women want to meet you! <-- A frequent message to me

That's hilarious!

They really think customers aren't going to see through that nonsense? Be transparent and straightforward. It'd be less embarrassing for them as they try to sugarcoat the news and fail utterly.
