Bits and Pieces of a fragmented psyche

Things I wish people would stop saying.
1. Awesome

2. Step up to the plate.

3. Aight instead of alright.

4. Closure

5. Conversating for conversing

6. Axe for ask

7. Borrowed for loaned (borrowed me the money)

8. Like...starting every sentence

9. The F word unless talking about the act itself (I, myself, am a big offender on this one)

10. Can you instead of would you (unless someone's ability is in question)

Just a few conversational dislikes of mine.

The English language is beautiful when used properly. No person is perfect (see #9), but I wish more would give it a try.
