Also, enough with 'literally.'  It is 'literally' always used incorrectly.  Most of the sales clerks on the Q are guilty of this but the biggest offenders are Jane T., Shawn, and Alberti.  The other night, JT, said 'These shoes are literally flying out the door.'  I'd pay serious money to see that. 

 

Also, why does Shawn say that something costs a 39 dollar bill, or a 350 dollar bill?  Does she not know basic monetary denominations?  Saying that an item costs $39 or $350 is proper grammar and she should know that.  When she first did it, I thought she was kidding but she always does it.  Where are the QVC executives?  Is this how they want their company represented?  

 

As an English teacher, I would tutor these people in proper grammar for free.  I literally would.Woman Wink


I would like to see a 39 dollar bill or 350 dollar bill!! It must have just rolled off the printing press!!😄😄

This is "elevated."

 

If you saw this in B&M, you would see a 1, 2, or 3 in front of it. Woman LOL

QVC, please, please tell everybody to eliminate the word AMAZING.  They are beating the word to death.  And furthermore, whatever they say is Amazing, is not Amazing.  


@Fribwl.  Have fun coming here to rant but it won't do a bit of good.  Nothing will change.  It's all been said many times before....for years.

😝 Seriously, people, these tops are amazing, I have them in all fourteen colors.

 

You literally should grab one in black, one in white, and at least two or three or four other colors. 

 

Trust me, you won't be sorry.

 

And ...... They are 100% polyester.

 Raise your hand if you love polyester ! ! !

I feel the same as everyone else but this won't stop.  I'm sure they say things over and over because they have to speak constantly and can't find any different words to say.  I'm also sure the powers that be insist that they say certain words because they are catch phrases.  I just noticed that I cannot watch anyone very long anymore.  I guess I have been hearing too much of this rhetoric.  I watched TJ today on the Temp-tations show on Q2 and as much as I thought he was so cute, he drove me crazy because he was so hyper and he couldn't present the product very well.  And I realize he is new.  I guess I'm getting too old for blabbering.

It's even worse if you mute the volume. The mouth looks as though it's moving at breakneck speed, and even though you think you can't hear them, your mind is telling you that yes,yes you can.

I agree about word and phrase repetition by the hosts and it has been commented on many times in the forums.  Forget some with their grammar, my ears ache.

 

However, as I have said I pay little attention to what the hosts say because I know they are sales people who love and push every single item they sell which is bogus in itself. I am at the point where I shop on the Q stie so I don't have to listen to all the silliness and repetition.
