Any words spoken employing "Upspeak" thus making statements sound like questions drives me batty, ah, battier...

Fanboys - When a certain group of men are referred to this way it sounds like guys who're light in the loafers...

Javier730,

Had you told him and had he the power, I'm sure you would've been handed your walking papers.

BTW, group type admonishing is something I too experienced with a cowardly management type.

In his case, he didn't have the courage to address the individual in confidence and I'd guess yours was as gutless too...but at least my guy was relatively intelligent, where your guy is a dumbo...

In keeping with the thread's subject: Folks who haven't figured out that the word "ideal" isn't the same as "idea"

Deliberately misspelling words does not reflect well upon the word abuser.

Example: Cool is not spelled "Kewl" and Thanks is not spelled "Thankz".

You do get a pass for these transgressions if you're under 12 years of age.

Yes, I "capisce"!

At that point in time...

At that point is sufficient.

No need to add "in time".

Yes, and these folks believe in the healing power of crystals, reek of patchouli, wear birkenstock sandals, hemp clothing, find bathing optional, smoke a lot of dope and are hard core lefties.

I've never been here, in my whole life.

"I've never been here" is enough without adding: "in my whole life"

Using the word "Meters" instead of "Miles" in an American movie about a plot in America.

It comes across like we know we're backward Americans, but we're trying our best to keep up with those smart Europeans...

Gag!

"Convo" instead of Conversation.

I've just recently seen this in use and wonder if the guy saying convo thought it made his sound really cool, instead of really dopey...

"True Facts"

If it's a fact, you don't need the word "True".

Much like: "Free Gift"

If it's a gift of course it's free...

jamminbutter,

Any guess as to why such a person says "We just..." or "Just...".

I don't understand their meaning.

Do you?

Thanks!

"I myself"

If you start a sentence with "I" isn't that adequate?

You wouldn't say, "I yourself" now would you?

Who is this?

When uttered by an ignoramus telephone caller.

I mentioned this once in the past, but it seems no one "dies" anymore.

They "pass".

Kinda like being in school rather than being dead.

Oops, can't say "dead" anymore either, waaaaaaay to close to reality.

Rest In Peace is another silly saying.

When "dead" you ain't resting, you're slowing decaying with nary a chance of getting up and walking around.
