ness Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 How about "my bad". I hear that one all the time now. Drives me crazy! I'll tell you the one that I really notice is 'like'. Some of the, like, youngsters, can't get a, like, complete sentence out without, like, three like, likes in it. John
KCRIVERRAT Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I'll tell you the one that I really notice is 'like'. Some of the, like, youngsters, can't get a, like, complete sentence out without, like, three like, likes in it. Sound like, uh... you know, like uh... like you had a visit today. Just didn't wanna be involved in your little "High Noon" escapade. Or your "Little Big Horn" ness. I see you down there too... HUMAN RELATIONS MANAGER @ OZARK FISHING EXPEDITIONS
fishinwrench Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 I can't stand "all in all". ....After I got my penis unstuck from the trailer winch and got the bleeding under control I caught 2 dinks over the weekend and both were flukes.....but "all in all" it was a fabulous trip. Unfaltering optimism is more annoying to me than someone who bitches about everything.
stlfisher Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 It is ridiculous and not rediculous...I see that all the time. Secondly, "I don't have a dog in this fight" is also highly annoying....especially when followed by 3 paragraphs of text arguing the topic. I should out myself as I chronically leave out entire words in my sentences...which I find annoying, but unable to correct.
Quillback Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 Irregardless, I could care less what you guys think - not that I have a dog in this fight, LOL.
joeD Posted May 21, 2014 Posted May 21, 2014 The beauty of our English(American) language is its flexibility and utility in giving us citizens myriad ways in which to communicate. We should actually rejoice in our freedom to convey our thoughts and emotions and ideas in a language that can be, at once, universal and specific. Grammarians will always grumble, parsers of sentence structure and speech will always find fault in modern communication. But they are the rigid and calcified minority, clinging to an ideal of order, decorum, and stasis. What bothered Al, was not really an irritation with grammar, but with "usage" and current idiosyncratic speech patterns. Then we all chimed in with our pet peeve "sayings," grammatical or not. In other words, we are old, they are young. They don't know nothin'!

'And' would be good choice. Semicolon would work too. John
