I've been tracking[1] the use of "passionate" in whoishiring threads, really getting out of control. It's now become one of the 10 most frequent terms used in posts.

I noticed by looking at the top 50 that there's also "passion" as a separate listing, and tracks almost perfectly [0].

Good catch, I forgot I had them broken out, makes it even more common perhaps, but there could be overlap with posts using both terms.

Everything is on the rise that you're tracking. Which would make me believe there are just more job postings and for all I know the term passionate may actually be on a decline in how often it's use vs how many job listings are made.

You're right, the chart needs some work. The rankings table below show the relative rise better than the chart.

A pet hate of mine. Used by politicians, CEOs, recruiters. Good spot.
