Re: Irritating overuse/misuse of particular words.

I agree on 'literally'.

"I was literally, walking down the street today..."
No need.

And don't' get me started on 'obviously', either!Especially it seems when I call my bank or a call centre of any sort. "Well obviously the reason this has happened is obviously that you obviously did this so then this obviously happened" ..

Er, NO! If I am asking the question and YOU know why but I don't , then there's nothing obvious about it!

Rant over , as you were!

Ditto 'No offence but'.... 'No offence but I am about to say something that may offend you....

Also not heard it for a while now, but when I worked in offices people saying 'Going forward' either via email or in person, made my teeth itch. Not sure why.
