Do you just hate certain words?

The phrase 'could care less'.

The phrase 'could care less'.

It bugs me even as a non-native speaker.

Agreed, especially when the person you are saying "Thank you" to is in a customer service capacity. The words "No problem" should not be a response anyone in a customer service role uses in response to a "Thank you".

"My pleasure" is often taught and recommended for use by customer service employees.

it works for Chick-Fil-A!!!

Why do the news anchors and reporters begin a sentence with the words "Now" or "So" ?

Starting sentences with "So" seems to be the thing to do now.

I also get annoyed that the only positive adjective that people seem to know is "amazing".

Hey that has its place if used appropriately.........

But I suppose "Couldn't" would better fit.

Yes it does, and they take the time to train and focus their employees on these things and that among other things makes a difference for their bottom line.

The word the gets me is Crafted, a crafted beer, practicing their craft or the latest buzz word “crafting” for commercials. Craftsman not so much but all others.

I do like "That Road" in Bloomington... It would be a source of great mirth to me if I lived on "That Road." I'm thinking Abbott and Costello routine... "Where do you live?" "That Road." "Which road?" "THAT Road". "This road?" "No, THAT Road!"

You know. Drives me bat crap crazy.

I don't say "I could care less" but I am guilty of saying "I could give a s***", even though I know better.

I don't say "I could care less" but I am guilty of saying "I could give a s***", even though I know better.

I believe the correct usage would be, "Oh like" (I could give a ****).

I could not believe it when I first heard it. So my aunt and uncle took us there. Love THAT road.

In the professional world, 'reached out to' when you mean called/emailed/telephoned. Good Lord, it sounds so pretentious and phony!

I always like Tom Selleck's line in Monte Walsh:

Rudy, you can't have no idea how little I care.

 

[Bennettjh]

That is perfect.
