I have issues with people using "infer" when they mean "imply", but the word whose overuse probably irritates me more than any other is "energy".

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

At the top of the list for me, is "hopefully" but comprised is right there too.
I have a long and impassioned rant on the subject of hopefully, as well as on the use of "gift" as a verb and "notorious" for someone other than Al Capone and his ilk. Then there's a personal irritation, problematic, which does not mean full of problems, no matter how it sounds.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Huh. I didn't know that.

I misuse words all the time. I have almost stopped caring. word hell awaits me.
people do not want to come to my events. I don't take this personally as the pool of people I am inviting have been basically neglected for years, but it makes having events very hard. If I can't get people to attend a FREE cocktail how will we ever get people to a $200/person dinner?

Hee. Ginger is me. I'm annoyed by the verbifying of nouns in general, except when we do it. Also, momentarily. "The doors will be closing momentarily." Holy shit! Where should I stand so I don't fall out when they open again?

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

ugh. msbelle, I feel your pain.
Ginger, what does problematic mean?
See. We need either a Buffista Usage Guide. Or at least a Groundhog Day topic where we can rehash ad infinitum (or at least to 10,000 posts) these topics.

I love when people write the sample bad sentences and I see nothing wrong with them.

Incredibly overworked like whoa.
Clearly, if you are only just recently getting up. Bastards.

"Do not say 'I feel nauseous' unless you are certain you have that effect on others."
Problematic means "open to doubt or debate."
