There is no such thing - it is a PHYSIO therapist<br /> - Almost as much as "literally" annoys you, when people "basically" do everything, it drives me nuts. Are you suggesting that everything is THAT easy?!<br /> - Not so much a word as a full saying, and this is just complete ignorance of the English language: "That will learn him/her." Need I say more...<br /> - On the lines of the last one, I have heard on more than one occasion: "I borrowed her/him that book"<br /><br />Wow, just looking at the last one...I can't even go on. Writing badly has given me a complex for a moment - I must go and read the dictionary =P </i>Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12665200991506789327noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268468693840523552.post-46101261672150897152011-03-03T10:20:35.049-08:002011-03-03T10:20:35.049-08:00John:

I'd suggest you peruse some of my older work in here. I think you might find a good bit of it worth a chuckle. <br /><br />A lot of what I write is me being pissed off about politics, the economy, and things of that nature. But I'm trying to change that. One can't be angry all the time. Sometimes a guy has to take time to be annoyed too.<br /><br /> -GlenoGlenohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00136566571723615119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268468693840523552.post-79390850799923927162011-03-02T13:41:44.003-08:002011-03-02T13:41:44.003-08:00You have some steady readers UM, I expect you wont...You have some steady readers UM, I expect you wont let us down, moving forward. <br /><br />I am so glad I don't work in 'corporate America'. The invented language they use to make thing sound important, or to inflate egos is just foolish. It's like lawyer speak. <br />ccAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268468693840523552.post-51517237915122396832011-03-02T06:57:04.689-08:002011-03-02T06:57:04.689-08:00With the help of my wife, DebbieLynne, I found you...With the help of my wife, DebbieLynne, I found your blog this morning and was delighted with your "The Right Word" post. If that's typical of what you have to say here I'll be back on a consistent basis.

Another one I can't st...LOL -<br /><br />Great comments!<br /><br />Another one I can't stand, similar to Debbie Lynne's is "moving forward." I hear that all the time at work. "We'll need to start using company letterhead, moving foward." <br /><br />Is there another way to move in business? Are we going to go back in time somehow? People use these stupid cliche's constantly without any thought to them.

It does sound ridiculous when you put it that way, but I'll take shoot over Busted any day. <br />I hear Busted everywhere now, as in Broke or broken. If that's ok, then I will say Busticated! <br />ccAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7268468693840523552.post-52009461519643520032011-03-01T13:37:21.761-08:002011-03-01T13:37:21.761-08:00The phrase, "at the end of the day" bugs...The phrase, "at the end of the day" bugs me.
