Overused word of the day

[wossname]

Download IE7 for Linux, its much better.

[Merrion]

"The" adds almost nothing to any context

e.g.
"Insert the CD into the drawer, with the label facing the top"
"Insert CD into drawer, with label facing top"

See - pointless word.

This rant is in no way motivated by my difficulty typing teh word "teh"...

[brad jones]

Shouldn't you have says:

See the pointlessness of the word?

[penagate]

'That' and 'of' are also usually redundant.

[FunkyDexter]

People who say 'literally' and then engage in massive hyperbolae. That literally makes my head explode.

And what's with signs that say 'polite notice'?

Most ludicrous advert: Here at vodaphone we recognise that all customers are individuals, that's why we've created three categories into which we shall divide you like cattle being sent to the slaughter. Now die insignificant worms, DIE!!!!

"Fishing for compliments" is also an over-used expression.

[koolprasad2003]

Most speaker, speaks begin with "Basically" word.

Most start with "Actually" like when we get a new pen we start writing with it by writing our Name.

Since I just managed to barf the production database I suspect the word 'fired' may be getting an outing any minute now.

You were, perhaps, trying to fix flaws inherent in one of our moderators here.

Since when have I "made it"?

[mendhak]

You certainly have made it. Worse.

[kregg]

You certainly have made it.

I can't imagine how you could have said what you said in this post without using the smilie. It would completely change the meaning, nothing would be the same without it.
