That's the one that kills me, the whole question sounding thing.

I think I'm a little more lenient than Mr. Dale, seeing as how I use some of those phrases, "hey Boss", "no way".  I don't think I'm going to be cast a simpleton for using them...ehem.

The few that really get me are "literally", "whole entire", "ironic" (when one really means coincidental) and "reticent" ( when one really means to say reluctant..subtle differences, but differences nonetheless)

Then there's "I'm like...", especially when it comes from one of those girls who talks from the back of her throat. Sometimes it's followed by a "you know?".

I would also like to add people? who always you know? kind of like? talk in you know, like? questions?

Throw them also onto the pyre.
