Is there a prize at the end of this? Regardless, I go on. I can add one or
two very overused/irritating words/phrases, in no particular order.
Different to.
Different than.
Like ..... as in "I was - like - you know?"
You know ..... as in "I was - like - you know?"
Just ..... as in "Bloggs soap powder just got better." Ungrammatical and
weirdly ambiguous. I'll explain the latter if anyone insists.
Fantastic ..... as in "Wow !! Fantastic !!" Especially when uttered by some
TV ponce in response to nothing much.
Property ..... as a substitute for "house" on too many TV programmes.
That'll do for now.
Hugh.
