Re: IF I HEAR.....................

My pet peeve is "Literally." We know the Q hosts and vendors use it constantly, there's not one presentation without it several times, but I hear it everywhere! Even people who use the language for their living, like news anchors, reporters, and lecturers - I can't wait until the world moves on to the next catch phrase!

Re: IF I HEAR.....................

There are only so many adjectives to go around. Fortunately, many hosts tire of a phrase and move on to the next one ... which we'll get tired of, in due course.

Re: IF I HEAR.....................

I have almost stopped watching completely, due to many of the repeated phrases by hosts. AMAZING was my absolute most hated!! I no longer watch Lisa at all, due to hearing it over/over. I don't miss watching her in the least.

Yes, and now it's "Here's the thing" 1,000 times per hour. Going insane again !

Whenever I am flipping channels and QVC appears and Lisa is the host I always hear "very, very quickly". And what I do very, very quickly ,is turn the channel.

Re: IF I HEAR.....................

Yeah, Lisa has really gotten bad about those double words over and over again. It went from being a curiosity about her to something that is difficult to listen to for any length of time. I tried to watch a Dooney & Bourke show with her not too long ago and I couldn't do it; I changed the channel after about 5 minutes because it just became tedious. I usually don't watch QVC, I'm more of an online shopper, but once in awhile it's nice to just tune out and watch a jewelry show, or a Dooney show or Philosophy, but it's really getting hard to do that of late. It seems like all the hosts are "burned out" or something.

Re: IF I HEAR.....................

Personally, I'm not watching enough lately, given the programming, for much of anything the hosts do or say to annoy me...
