Mon cher!
When did “call in” change to “call out”? And why? You “call in” to work to tell them you will be out.
It feels like it was in the last 5 years or so, but all the new people (younger than me) at work now say “call out,” and I don’t understand the lexicon shift.
They just couldn’t write it on a to-do list, because they were illiterate.
