"No problem"  used by wait staff in restaurants.  When they say It I replay "Well if taking my order was a problem I would suggest another job."


@ginirn  Why would you say something so rude to someone who is serving you your food?  That is not a wise thing to do.

Re: Over-Used Phrases That Make Me Scream!

The double “is.”  Used by commentators or pundits. I’ve heard regular people say it too.  I can’t think of examples. You’ll know it when you hear it.

These kinds of things or words don't bother me a bit.  I look to the character of the person and how they reach out to others.

Grammer grammer grammer! Along with" I seen" driving me crazy it"s " my mother she" or my brother he "  and it's on tv all the time not just the Q.


Grammar is so important.

 

Down South I hear “My sister and them...” It’s a colloquialism but still makes me cringe.

What about "sorry for your lost"  when it should be loss. 

 

I have a friend that also likes to says "unbeknowst to me" 


Awwww.. I have said “cool beans” forever and people always smile.

"Nailed it!"   Why is it so important to "nail it?"   Please just stop using this phrase.  It needs to die.

I will confess to being a grammar nazi and this sets my teeth on edge; there isn't any need for an apostrophe in "eye's".


Fellow grammar and spelling vigilante here. I often have to leave this forum or other social media venues when the sad, sad spelling and grammar start getting to me. Many don’t read anymore, they just watch TV, and so can’t spell other than phonetically.
