Oxford University has come up with the Top 10 most irritating phrases, and I do love a good bit of judgment and mocking. Here we go:1. At the end of the day
2. Fairly unique
3. I personally
4. At this moment in time
5. With all due respect
6. Absolutely
7. It's a nightmare
8. Shouldn't of
9. 24/7
10. It's not rocket science
Hear, hear! And I would add these:
11. Literally (as in ValleyGirl style, when it is most decidedly not literal)
12. Mom and I's trip is coming up (as in, should be Mom's and my)

i really want that shirt. after jeff and i read this list we heard at least three of them while we watched some reality tv. first one was at the end of the day. oy.
you say "it's a nightmare" all the time!
i do love that shirt a lot though.
I admit... I think I used at least 8 of these last week. But with all due respect, I personally think NC teaches grammar about as well as it dresses prisoners. It's a nightmare...literally.
