I agree that too many people throw arouond saying, ''Love you, Love ya, love you'' to everybody , as if they're saying See Ya. ....which takes the seriousness and specailness out of the moment of someone saying to you those 3 little words.

I don't think people should say they could care less when they mean to say they couldn't care less.

Absolutely right..."I couldn't care less" is the correct expression. Good one!

commented 12 years ago

YES! Exactly like you and Ducky have said. I couldn't care less means I don't care at all. THANK YOU.

commented 12 years ago

I say that once in a while... it's when I would rather be sarcastic but choose to just shut up.
I think I could in fact care less but I don't.

Well, I guess we COULD care less about some things and COULDN'T care less about other things?! lol

Funny that you mention that. I had a boss once who was speaking with an employee who used that expression, and that's EXACTLY what he responded. I never forgot that.

the term 24/7 (24 hours, seven days a week) don't know why but this irritates me, also a word used or should I say over used at work, where we never have problems but everything from broken appliances to behavioral problems is an "Issue"

Yes as in..."I have issues with that"...also I agree with the 24/7.

commented 12 years ago

Clonge

Is 168/7 any better? There are 168 hours in a week, and it's even equally divisible (168/7 = 24, whereas 24/7 results in a fraction!

Well lambshank, I don't wait 'til the end of the day, when they piss me off i tell em right then and there, 'right now is the end of your day' You don't have to lump it or like it because your day stops now.."

or you can just say.. you know what?? I own/manage this place, I do things my way and i expect you to do things my way too, that's why i hired you, to do things my way, now, of course you have the same option I had when I started this business, you too can start your own business and do it your way..

"At this point in time" is incorrect as you can have "at this point" ( now) or "at this time" (now) but you can`t have at this point in time because that is saying "now now" which is a "no no"

24/7 annoys me," issue " also as others mentioned. As far as "If I were you " I prefer "If I were in your situation I would blah blah"

12 years ago. Rating: 21

I prefer people NOT say either.."if I were you" nor "if I were in your situation". Why? Because you have NO IDEA what you would do in ANY situation...until you are in it! (just a little philosophizing there) :)

Nice thought Ducky but what if you have been in a similar situation?
Or do you suggest we say "buggered if I know work it out yourself,
don`t tell me your problems I have enough of my own"

How about.."You might want to try..." or.. "Have you thought about..."

' ' Having said that......'' . . . . .which they learned from Simon Cowell on Amer Idol. Now, everybody has to say that. Having said that, it is annoying.

12 years ago. Rating: 16

Colleen

I've used "having said that" for years. I certainly did not get it from Simon, I don't watch that show. I learned it from a teacher way back in high school. Now, having said that, everyone really should think of how the answers may affect the reader. Though I really don't mind this one, just wanted to point out how some answers can offend others. See mels comment.

commented 12 years ago

One of my best friends says that. It is usually when we are discussing the science of glazes or ramp firing schedules. It is putting something aside while we begin to explore another avenue.

commented 12 years ago

Probably more people have adopted the phrase hearing it from Cowell than in one high school teacher's class :) . Let's all remember, it is just the cliche that is annoying, not the person from whom it comes.

I would NEVER EVER say “having said that ...” I didn’t know it came from Simon Cowel. My husband and I punch each other in the arm when we hear it.
