PROMISES

Promises used to be things you usually looked forward to.

Now they are things you never forget because they were reneged on (applies mainly to political statements)!
rhymer
FREE

Free used to mean there was no charge involved and the offer was devoid of any commitment from the receiver.

It now means the cost is already included in the price and/or requires extensive reading of small words which state all the implications and limitations which actually apply!
rhymer
UNLIMITED

Unlimited used to mean there were no limits involved in ones use of a service or goods.

It now means that the limitations are contained in very small type at the bottom of the advertisement or only disclosed once you have committed to the service or goods.
