Yikes, I thought all the grammar Nazis were on vacation.

 

[.QQ.]

No phrase in particular, more the inconsiderate people who won't shut the fúck up.

 

[Ho3n3r]

Yikes, I thought all the grammar Nazis were on vacation.

Nope. My leave finished 10 days ago.

And it's spelling Nazi, not grammar Nazi.

If there is one word that can f$% my day up it's "Advice"
And not the word as much as the people who use it incorrectly ie: "Please advice me the ETA on deliver of this part"

One of my favourites has got to be the word: "URGENT"

And then last but not least my all time peeve.....

What about "LIAISE"

Yes! and nowadays we never "meet" with people, we "engage"

 

[Chevron]

That "Going forward" aka "way forward" fully deserves its No. 1 spot!

No it's "creating synergies".
