Me three. But UNFORTUNATELY, it evidently has been used wrong for so long that it IS now a word. How I weep for the English Language.

Many contenders, but for me, nothing is more irritating than seeing the word "fitment" used incorrectly 100% of the time. Mad

No, I don't know. Why don't you tell me?

Better yet, shut up and go away.



You can't truly call yourself "peaceful" unless you are capable of great violence. If you're not capable of great violence, you're not peaceful, you're harmless.

Can I do words?

My bad Mad

I can't stand it and have no idea how, or why, it replaced "I'm sorry" or "I apologize". ... Roll Eyes

"like" as a filler word.

I second DIVERSITY. It drives me nuts and always has.
I have to add that I am pretty appalled by your use of the words heterosexual and white. Rather than abuse others with words created by the oppressive patriarchy to extend its world domination, I offer that we should stick to the PC preferred "cisgendered" and "occidental" when referring persons of straightness and whiteness.

Business jargon. I hate it and it sounds so friggin' stupid. In my company, people say things like:

What is your ask? (What do you want?)

What are the deliverables for this project? (What are we expected to produce?)

We will action your request soon. (We'll do what you told us to do soon.)
