The constant use of “invite”

(Slight spoilers for Shari’s book)

I am listening to Shari’s book as an audiobook and the constant incorrect use of “invite” to pressure people into doing things from Ruby and Jodi is driving me nuts!!!!!

“Inviting” Kevin to leave his home, “inviting” Shari to PAY FOR THEIR DINNER… they even use double-invite, like Ruby says “I’m going to invite you to invite me to talk with you in person.” AGH! I also saw a video clip where Ruby said she “invited” girls to leave if they wore an immodest bathing suit in her hot tub.

It is such stupid, evil doublespeak. There’s no “invitation.” It’s petty and unimportant compared to their sheer evil, but it’s just so obnoxious!!
