It's one of the most annoying misused words in the language; a victim of the urge many have to prefer a posh sounding word over something simpler. Anticipate doesn't mean "expect", despite the worst impulses of the barbarian hordes.

Right. Day off work. Am supposed to be 'doing the pond' but instead, I might just bugger about on the computer all day.
That would be a first
