Usage note[edit]

"The use of pedestrian in the sense of ordinary, dull, everyday, etc. has begun to become unfashionable in the 21st century, mainly due to the desire in many urban locations around the world to promote walking and cycling as healthy, less polluting, and less space consuming alternatives to driving. Young people in particular are unlikely to use pedestrian in the ordinary or dull sense."

Is it true or just somebody's wishful thinking? I'm sure I've heard expressions like "pedestrian work" from people in their twenties. --Thrissel (talk) 10:57, 19 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

I've gone ahead and deleted because it has no citation. Alázhlis (talk) 02:04, 1 October 2016 (UTC)Reply
