I'm on the edge with words.... Have you ever came across a "word" thats you think SUCKS, STUPIED, AND JUST PLAIN USELESS? Well now is your chance to bitch! The rules are simple list 3 WORDS or less that you think is useless and give a brief explaination.
I'll start. 1.YO! - Don't greet new people with this it's confusing and nobody is named YO so learn to remember names! 2.Thing - When giving instructions don't say "thing" this "thing" that.... thats even more confusing to me then the YO greeting. 3.Duh - Nobody wants to hear your ignorance in glory. But all in good humour.  -------------------- G♂t9li√es░▒▓█ |

irregardless - This one has always bothered me, especially when people try to use it in the same context as "regardless." They end up trashing their entire statement by adding an unnecessary prefix.
This is all I've got for now, and it was the first "useless word" that came to mind. -------------------- Mah steam!
 The Ice Cream Koan: A cocky novice once said to Richard Stallman: “I can guess why the editor is called Emacs, but why is the justifier called Bolio?”. Stallman replied forcefully, “Names are but names, ‘Emack & Bolio's’ is the name of a popular ice cream shop in Boston-town. Neither of these men had anything to do with the software.” His question answered, yet unanswered, the novice turned to go, but Stallman called to him, “Neither Emack nor Bolio had anything to do with the ice cream shop, either.” |

Can we also broaden this to phrases such as....

1. Blog / Blogger / Blogging - I don't have a problem with what the word means, blog your heart out. I just think the word is an ugly stain on the English language. If it meant a big green monster made of goo, I think I would like the word more.
2. It always bothers me when reading on the internet and people use 'your' instead of 'you're'. If you aren't smart enough to know the difference, say you are every time you come to that word and decide which one to use. I'm no grammar police, and don't point these mistakes out, but it gets under my skin. It is kind of sad that a lot of the younger people that use the internet don't even worry about punctuation and grammar. "Oh itz just tha interwebz I can type how I want". Yes that is true, but it develops shitty habits for when you are older. Idiot. That is all for now. -------------------- |

Because the person you're talking to for some reason doesn't get what's obvious to everyone else. So you say obviously to let them know, everyone else knows what's going on except them.

Apparently
Its fine if you use that word to describe something you've recently learned about. but using it to introduce EVERY GOD DAMN SUBJECT IN CONVERSATION gets irritating. and while i have the drive of this mini-rampage, i'll again assert the improper usage of: Epic, Win, Fail, or any combination of the three has been used, re-used, overused, and RAPED to the point where it ISNT FUNNY ANYMORE. There is a specific section of hell, or whatever equivalent destination you believe in, reserved for dickweeds who still think its 2006 and call every god damn thing Epic. God that pisses me off so hard. -------------------- -YOU CAN'T DO SHIT WITHOUT YOUR BALLS

I figured I'd weigh in here since my job is pretty much nothing but spell checking work done by "college educated people".
Weird. I don't know how many times I've seen people spell this word wrong. "Wierd" That spelling looks weird. Gonna. I don't know who in their right minds thought that this should be a word. Worst part? It's actually in the dictionary now. For the record, if you're attempting to make something sound professional, refrain from using the word "gonna". Schooler. This irks the living hell out of me. And, again, is a word in the dictionary. Instead of saying "The high schoolers" try saying "The high school students". Any misspelling of a common word. I'm sorry, but there's really no excuse for the amount of spelling errors that get made on a regular basis by the huddled masses. Here's an example from the land where English went to die, YouTube: cleens yure dishes. *holds face in hands to suppress the rage* -------------------- Today's going to be a fun day, much better than that day I tried Tag Body Spray for sick cats....
