Please find attached our comments.

That always sounds curt or like bad news if ‘the outcome’ is not summarised in the email itself, but otherwise it doesn’t bother me (usually, the comments are attached to the email after all).

When there is no attachment and you have to ask for it though

"Please logon to ESR to complete your Statutory & Mandatory Courses"

Sod off.

Irregardless.

Although having looked it up, it is generally used correctly. Still odd though.

throwaway4372 · 1 Jul 2023 at 16:51

the word "deal"
because it almost always means "ripping you off"

bigmike20vt · 1 Jul 2023 at 16:55

using Sick as a positive is probably the most annoying.

oh and saying could care less when they actually mean couldn't care less

Who refers to world of warcraft as social media? Nobody.

Believe it or not, I saw it on a Wikipedia article and remembered. Not that Wiki is 100% accurate though.

'Reach out'
Why not say contact, speak with, email, discuss with?

This too. Corporate bull**** bingo

The word/expression "banter"... Horrid

uber soldat · 1 Jul 2023 at 17:28

"It is what it is", meaningless crap, and anyone who utters it should be shot.

“Head cannon”, always been a thing but a few years ago someone prominent must hate said it… now can’t hear anybody talking about tv or film without uttering the phrase.

"Could care less" :mad:

Americans who say 'i could care less' when they actually mean the complete opposite, then when you point this out they look at you with a glazed puzzled expression.

The greenhouse effect

Climate change has nothing to do with "The greenhouse effect" how the world is heating up is not due the world becoming more like a green house"

At this present time, what is wrong with now!!
