	Annoying Words Suffering from ads?

What words annoy you and why?

I hate people who miss use, or over use, the word "actually", especially when used at the beginning of a correction.

"The sky is purple."
"acutally, the sky is blue."

That's not even a real contradiction! It's a correction! What makes your opinion more right?! EVen if it is right?

Actually. you can shut the F-up!

I like to over use the word "clearly", because I know that bugs some ppl.

Worst word is more of a saying; "Oh SNAP!" So friggin annoying.


For me it's mostly tone of voice that I find annoying rather than phrases, usually.

But... but... if you're team is incapable of achieving synergies, that encumbers your organization with inefficient decision-making processes! How do you adjust and adapt to constantly changing paradigms? Is it even possible to increase value with non-synergistic teams?????

One of my aunts is devoutly religious and whenever she exclaims amazement or whatever, she uses the safe expression, "Oh my land!"



other annoying words for me:


revisionism (when people refer to the study of history)

straight-acting




My mother refers to lunch with the word "dinner." It's particularly annoying when we are talking about a planned family-get-together and I have to make sure she is really talking about lunch, or talking about dinner, as in the evening.

LUNCH IS FOR NOON AND DINNER IS FOR EVENING!!



I might think of a couple of others later.



And actually Japher, the sky is a tint of red and orange in the evening, so it's not always blue.

If someone uses a poor choice for a word, I can disregard it as a slip of the tongue or minor flaw.

I find it more annoying when someone's lack of vocabulary or thought causes them to constantly use the same word or phrase. Popular abuses for this:
"like"
Curse words, typically sh!t and variations of F***
"I mean"
"you know"

I broke up with a girl who had a problem with calling everything "the bomb" and she was 29. I worked with a VP who abused the phrase, "the fact of the matter is...."
