Sometimes it's amusing. I've heard things such as - it was just so awful that I literally died. Really? How are you here to tell about it if you're dead?

I don't mind it when used appropriately.

@MamaWick I feel that way when someone says "I love me some sweet corn". Why in the name of Pete are you adding me when you just said I. I love sweet corn. There you go, fixed it.

Drives me crazy, it sounds like someone never stepped foot in English class.

I dislike --absolutely.

So many words are overused which makes it difficult for me to follow conversations since I find myself counting the number of times they say "basically, literaly, and like." Needless to say I watch a lot of QVC on mute.

@vsm Wouldn't know, don't ever watch her. Snake oil.

LOL - I agree. Same with "actually"

@Catbelly I agree...all the words mentioned are over used..."basically..literally..I can't...etc..etc...

For some reason my little grandkids like to say Actually.
"Did you have fun at school"? "Actually...I did "

"Do you want a cookie"? "Actually... I do "

"Are you ready to get a bath"? "Actually...no"

Seems like it's the new over used word for the kids too. 😊

@Mombo1 Agree. My ten year old grandson uses the word actually a lot.

This only applies to Mally products but I hate when Mally and the host say "bullet proof" when describing her cosmetics. What do bullets have to do with make-up. The descriptions that they should be using is "budge-proof", "water-proof", etc.

But isn't it good to know that if you got shot in the face, your make-up wouldn't budge??

The word or misuse of the word seen/saw/see drives me crazy more than any other word. I haven't noticed it here or on QVC but on facebook I see it a lot. Makes me think a lot of these people havent seen the inside of a book!

@spumoni99 I know what you mean. There's a group page on FB where the members are mostly from my hometown. The spelling and grammatical errors are unbelievable. It's very sad really. The one that is like nails on a chalkboard to me is "should of" instead of "should have." What exactly did they study when they attended school? I doubt they could have made it through the courses I had.
