What Phrases or Words Irritate You?

I just heard one on TV that reminded me I hate it. The host asks a question to the guest, and the guest's first word is "Sure". It's like saying "All right, that's a good enough question, I'll answer it". Guests can shoot themselves in the foot with this because what if they say "Sure. No I don't think so". Makes em sound silly to me, like saying "Yes. No."

 

The other one is when someone asks a question and the responder says: "So",... Example: Q:How do you know your analytics are sound? A: So, we limited our assumptions and by...

 

I can't stand "so" being used like that!!! Glad to join you on that one.

 

here's another..........."if you will".

that's my reply to that too...I think that came about in place of "for lack of a better word/phrase".

People Capitalising Each Word Are A Pain!

STOP YELLING!!!!!

 

As are people who use apostrophe's where they should not.

 

That's because the grammar rules in English are so different from my native language. I'm doing my best

 

Understandable. My irritation lies with native speakers of the language.
