Word use that drives you up the wall!

To be honest

"True Facts"

If it's a fact, you don't need the word "True".

I disagree. The media and politicians spout all kinds of "facts" these days that are not true.

[mojo84]

Those aren't facts then.

Veggies! It is too hard to say vegetables?

"Can I move over?", when your in the passenger seat on the highway and the driver is too lazy to check their side mirror and blindspot.

[Abraham]

"Convo" instead of Conversation.

I've just recently seen this in use and wonder if the guy saying convo thought it made his sound really cool, instead of really dopey...

[MONGOOSE]

""Pretty much" and not using ly after words such as he did badly....not he did bad.

[Javier730]

"Long story short" when said by someone telling a story that is anything but short.

[Abraham]

Using the word "Meters" instead of "Miles" in an American movie about a plot in America.

It comes across like we know we're backward Americans, but we're trying our best to keep up with those smart Europeans...

Gag!

"Melty"

I hate it. And it's not a word. Quit using it, tv commercials.

[Eric Lamberson]

An actual notice sent out to provide information about a conference:

"The purpose of the conference is to facilitate a dialogue and come to a shared appreciation of a vision and priorities that will shape the command's approach towards organizational structure to facilitate mission requirements."

Sometimes you live in a Dilbert cartoon.

[Abraham]

I've never been here, in my whole life.

"I've never been here" is enough without adding: "in my whole life"

"...this is a true story...." All of the rest of 'em are not?

"...this is a true story...." All of the rest of 'em are not?

I usually change the names to protect the innocent.
