Like being used extra grammatically and people who say X will be with you momentarily. I feel like saying really the meeting will be that quick.

"For free" really annoys me. It is either " free", or it is "for nothing". Bob

I find it it irritating when I see the word "stunning" it's so overused.

Also on FB I notice so many people(usually women) continuously say "I love/adore my kids/ children " I am sure they do, but why do they need to keep telling everyone?

Wend, many years ago when my eldest was a baby I met another new mum and invited her in for coffee one morning. As she left she said " see you later", a phrase I had never heard before instead of goodbye. I spent the whole afternoon wondering when she was going to turn up. What an innocent I was in those days!!!

Our son in law peppers each sentence with " like ". It drives us mad. :-S

'Mega'

And when newspapers report on a 'giant' spider/snake etc
It's just a big breed of spider, or an old snake, it's not a bl**dy giant :-|

Just because 'they're' trying to make technology smaller, it doesn't follow that nature does the same thing.

BTW, this is being typed on a 'giant' (ie tower) computer. I have a laptop, and a small tablet, but prefer old Maisie.

Life is too short to worry about these insignificant things imo. I find it a bit odd when someone says to me 'See you later' instead of 'Goodbye', but it doesn't bother me.

Absolutely, for sure and *balls in the air* I say :-D :-D :-D

"very unique" .............. something is either "unique" or not




"like" as every other word in a sentence
