and waitresses that say about the $100 meal you are eating "are you still WORKING on that?" BLEAH!

"solutions" As in, "Our company provides solutions". Ok, that tells me nothing.
"variability" What happened to "variation"?The best part about going up hills is riding back down!

Oooh, I hate "on my plate". We hear that a lot around here. How about "dialog" as in "We need to dialog with XXX"

Ooo!Ooo!
conversate
what-not
and my absolute most hated word impact instead of affect or effect . Cold weather impacted the crops.
NO
It's how did that affect the crops or what kind of effect did that have on the crops?
Though it can be used in place of effect, the more common usage means the striking of one thing against another; forceful contact or collision.
Impact is overused. As you may have concluded by now, this one really has a negative effect on me.Last edited by Zen; 06-08-2007 at 05:02 PM.
