"Verbiage" means either "verbosity" or "specific wording." Yeah, I know that. But what is this "verbage" I keep hearing about?
"Verbage" appears in contexts where "verbiage" is appropriate. Therefore, I think that "verbage" is a mispronunciation of "verbiage." I think it's kind of a stupid word, especially since "verbiage" is perfectly fine, but, the older I get, the more descriptivist and the less prescriptivist I become in my thoughts about language.
"Webinar" is still a stupid word, though.

I dunno, I “attend” some of Susan Garrett’s web seminars, calling them “webinars” makes sense to me.
Verbage sounds like something a verbivore eats. 😀
