there are quite a few of them that are over usedand are pointless phrases that have no meaning and grate on the ear while transmitting no information.if a word or phrase only induces a cringe and adds nothing to the convo why use it at all?it is what it isit means nothing why bother saying it?It's all goodIt's all so obvious by adding 'all' you don't mean a thing by saying thisTo be honestwhen this phrase is used something is either left unsaid or everything else you say is dishonestNo offenseI really dislike hearing thiswas there ever a more insincere or superfluouse phrase?what everthis is the most annoying phrase in the language. Don't you just want to smack anyone who uses it.other than a little girl - they can get away with the 'w' word.don't get me wrongis it not implicit in communication that you make your self understood?with all due respectif you meant to be respectful you would not have to emphasizeeverything happens for a reasonduh! talk about pointing out the obvious.at the end of the daywe will be going to bedgoing forwardannouncing your next footstepto be continued , sold out and can i put you on holdwhile annoing are not in the same category because those phrases serve some purpose and do impart information.my gripe is with phrases that are meaningless.I'm interested to know if others in OT are also bothered by useless phrases and which of them bother you the most?
