Rant of the day: high-end, low-end, and (drumroll) MID-end!

[dr. d]

LOL where did you get that definition of "higher end"? it sure doesn't exist in any dictionary.

it's really quite simple: low-end means lowest tier. there's nothing lower, that's why the word "end" is there.

high-end means highest tier. there's nothing higher. "end", remember?

mid-range means somewhere near the middle.

now if you wanna refer to something better than mid-range but below high-end then you could call it intermediate or something

higher does not mean highest. it just means, higher than low. it's poetspeak, sir.
come to think of it, this is all poetspeak.

if you want, we can just call them as they are.
cheapest.
most expensive.
middle ground.
but we won't find these words in the brochures, because they are harsh.
hence the poetspeak.

nope it's not poetspeak, it's not even english!

actually no respectable person uses the term "higher end". it's just extremely bad form. only pseudo-journalists and youtubers like using it
