Lately I have read the word 'strict' written as 'strick'. :001_huh: Is this a new thing? I am, as they used to say, 'tragically unhip', so I'm not surprised that I'm out of the loop on this one, too.

Word Nerd Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 (edited) It bugs me when people end their sentences with so. (Except for that one. ;)) I think they just get tired of talking and don't know how to tie it all up. "My panties are in the warsher (did I mention I also hate when people put an R in wash or Washington?) and I'm all out of EVOO and want to make Rach's new recipe for sammie stoup, so..."

And referring to employees as "team members". Believe me, when people don't have nearly as much power as those at the top, they don't feel like 'team members', they feel like employees.

fairfarmhand Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 "engineer" unless you are an actual engineer. Don't try to make yourself look more important by adding the word engineer to your job title. (my dh is a bit sensitive about this one since he is a civil engineer and worked very hard to get there) "ya' know" If you listen to many professional athlete's press conference this gets completely overused.

jewellsmommy Posted December 30, 2010 Share Posted December 30, 2010 I too HATE 'pooter/puter' for computer. I almost gagged just typing it! I despise 'at' when it is used as the last word in a sentence. "Where are my keys at?" :mad: This really bothers me! The 'at' is completely unnecessary. It will still be a complete sentence if you remove it! I have a friend that has started saying I.D.K in place of saying 'I don't know.' :001_huh: I guess it is too much effort to throw out those last few syllables. It makes me shiver inside. I also do not care to hear people refer to babies as 'it.' "We don't what it is yet." I know what it is. It is a baby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
