<i>Acceptable</i>....not correct. Like using data as a singular term instead of only plural (single = datum). Acceptable but not correct. <img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

I love it. Thank you.<br><br>
I hate it when people finish every sentence with "Okay?" Like I'm some sort of dolt who didn't get what they just said. Okay?<br><br>
And... "these ones" as in "I'm looking for a pair of pants." "How about these ones?" Argh...<br><br>
My kids always say "I know, right?" and it drives me insane.

I refuse to accept! I refuse, refuse I say!<br><br>
I'm also (the last person on Earth, I believe) railing against apostrophe abuse. For the love of humanity people, plurals don't get apostrophes*!<br><br>
*unless they're also possessive.<br><br><img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif">

Count me in as 2nd to last person....that makes me stop reading something completely in protest. And FTR, I exclusively use "a lot." Let's be friends<img alt="smile.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/smile.gif">

Biah's my new best friend. We're starting a War on Apostrophe Abuse!

Ya' know, I pretty much say a lot of these things that annoy people...my bad. I guess it is what it is, but I can see your point. No problem - I will vow to reform my ways and we'll go from there. It should be all good from here, ya' think? <img alt="biggrin.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/biggrin.gif"><br><br>
BTW, I hate unnecessary/misused apostrophe's (just kidding!)...apostrophes as well. And maybe this is a personal thing, but I hate when people use adjectives when they really need to use adverbs (that Apple ad encouraging me to "Think Different" annoyed me to no end.)

 

[techgirl321]

I hate when people use "good" instead of "well"<br><br>
"How are you today?"<br>
"I am good"<br><br>
YOU MEAN YOU ARE WELL??? or do you just think you're the shit?<br><br>
then theres....<br><br><br>
.......right? So, .........<br>
everyone who works for Cisco Systems talks like that! ...and most of them are brilliant, so I don't get it.

<i>What does this mean</i> is a common phrase that annoys me after someone has just said <i>that dude made the wine in the bathtub.<br><br></i><br><br><br><i>What are people thinking, really?</i>

 

[clb]

Did someone already say <i>good on ya?</i><br><br><br><br>
That one annoys me too, worser than having to ask what's wrong with wine-by-the-tub.

 

[Lintu]

It's okay to say "I am good," but it's "I'm doing well."

 

[cliffburns]

misplaced prepositional phrases..."I went to the zoo with the kids"...You mean the zoo has kids? or you went <b>with the kids</b> to the zoo?<br><br>
typos that annoy me:<br>
there instead of their or they're<br>
suppose instead of supposed<br>
your instead of you're...this one is like nails on a chalkboard to me<br><br>
...and while we're on annoyances, people who use bad Garageband jingles in tv commercials.

 

[OldBaldHippie]

it's all good...<img alt="wink.gif" src="http://files.kickrunners.com/smilies/wink.gif">

I was actually about to put "it's all good" in.

<i>offices</i> as a verb<br><br><i><br>
They office out of the 4th street building.</i><br><br><br><br>
I know I know. Everyone uses it. If they all jumped off cliffs would that still make it a good idea??!!!

 

[bethebunny]

<br>
I've never heard this.

 

[clb]

I'm so pleased to hear that!! It gets used ad nauseum around here and the corporate types must think they are so slick with it. But it's just stupid.<br><br>
There. I've said it. Out loud.

 

[HighHeat]

I've never heard it either.<br><br>
I can be the first person around here to say it...<br><br>
