a m ole Posted July 30, 2022 Share Posted July 30, 2022 (edited) It’s just a compound verb, one of many in English that means you don’t have to write 6 when 2 do job. It sounds more like you have an issue with the definition of ‘over’ meaning ‘higher or more than’. If you overachieve, you’re doing more than achieving. If you overestimate, you’ve estimated more than necessary. If you underspend, you’ve spent less than you needed to. It’s relative. I really don’t get how there’s any issue with it! I hope you don’t ever see what Gen Z are doing with English, frfr ong no cap. Edited July 30, 2022 by a m ole 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re expected to get B C C in your A levels to get into your chosen Uni. It would be an achievement to get B C C. Wow! You got A A B! You really overachieved! You did more than was expected! (none of these A levels were English Language) Edited July 30, 2022 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
