Re: Irritating overuse/misuse of particular words.
I get annoyed when a football manager is being interviewed before a big match and says, "we are hoping for a result today" They get one win or loose.
Or they will say, " It's a tragedy" when an over paid ball kicker misses a goal.
Not in my eyes, a tragedy is something like the sinking of the Titanic or the loss of all the young men in the wars.
