There is a difference between "using the proper word that conveys that exact idea" and "fad pidgin". Hint: "the ask", "the spend", "literally" and "emails" are words pushed on us by people with small brains and potentially a used-car sales quota to meet, and not something coming out of proper word use.

It seems I hate management pidgin that resembles used-car salesman try-hard mimicry.
