I have noticed recently a propensity of younger people to use words and phrases that either grate or annoy because they are used incorrectly or automatically without thought.
I quote:
Starting every sentence with the word "Absolutely"
The phase "At this moment in time" ("Currently" or even "now" would be preferable.
The question: "What was your name?" Why do they want to know what it was, surely it would be better to know what it is......?
And in conclusion, finally, to end with and last of all...... Why when you come to someone with your problem do they invariably say to you...."NO PROBLEM" when it is a problem and I have brought it to them as a problem and they insist on telling me ........."NO PROBLEM" uuuurrrrrggggghhhh. .....Neil
