Irritating overuse/misuse of particular words.
Does anyone else cringe when hearing 'fantastic'?
...or is 'old age' lowering my tolerance level? I know languages change over time, but overuse of this word causes me to judge the utterer to be 'of low intelligence'.

Re: Irritating overuse/misuse of particular words.
Basically, actually and the addition of the word 'like' at the end of every sentence are my pet hates.

Re: Irritating overuse/misuse of particular words.
If people start using words such as those out of context they will find themselves talking to their self, one word I particularly hate is guys, especially if they are talking about my Soldiers, the Accrington Heroes./
I alus thowt fantastic wur a dance, as in tripping too. Most of these stupid expresions can be blamed on that gang of Septic Tanks on the other side of the Atlantic. |

Re: Irritating overuse/misuse of particular words.
"to be honest", you should be able to assume that people are being honest anyway, no need to put this phrase in front of a sentence.

Re: Irritating overuse/misuse of particular words.
'To be honest', a phrase we all use when we know we are about to bend the truth in our favour.
