Wired: Oxford Researchers List Top 10 Most Annoying Phrases
… The great hierarchy of verbal fatigue includes:
1 – At the end of the day
2 – Fairly unique
3 – I personally
4 – At this moment in time
5 – With all due respect
6 – Absolutely
7 – It's a nightmare
8 – Shouldn't of
9 – 24/7
10 – It's not rocket science
My observation:
At the end of the day, this list is not rocket science. It may be a fairly unique list, but with all due respect anyone who reads blogs 24/7 like I personally do would have absolutely no problem coming up with it. However, at this moment in time, I probably shouldn't of been so critical of the list compilers. It's a nightmare coming up with interesting blog posts.
