To want to ban these phrases (not light-hearted - this would be my first act as dictator)

[OptimismvsRealism]

"I'm reaching out" - no, you are contacting me by email

"it broke me" - no, it made you a bit sad

"Picky bits tea" - just no

Oooooh, take it easy Margo Leadbetter! 😆

Not using the passive voice when using verbs that require a direct object. For example ‘The new exhibition launches next week.’

The exhibition isn’t launching ANYTHING. It’s BEING launched. By humans. Marketing people murder English for the sake of putting the thing they are pushing first in the sentence. It’s INFURIATING.

'birthed' instead of gave birth to.

You must be one of those facebook marketplace sellers that has no idea just how many times other sellers have, in fact, already sold things we want to buy.

Amazeballs irritates me.

But literally, the literal term that literally frustrates me to the literal ends of the earth are those who use the term "literally", when they literally should know that it's literally the wrong term to use in literally most situations. Literally!

Literally this.

Thank you for that. I kept coming up with the word "rake" for the second word and was struggling to figure out what it meant.

"Good Jahb" English people using the American accent to say it.

A buffet

Using 'may' in a question incorrectly.

'May you give that pen to me please?'

It's only 'May I'

The use of ‘perfect’ as an acknowledgment…

“what would you like to drink?”
”water”
”perfect. Still or sparkling?”
”still”
”perfect”

How and why did this become normal?!
