Subject: RE: Most annoying word
I love this list! My boyfriend likes to tease me when I come home at the end
of the day annoyed because my boss has "tasked me the assignment of using
this verbiage moving forward" Now I know that a lot of tech writers have
words and phrases that annoy them! It is not just me...this thread so far as
had 114 responses.
:) I enjoyed every one of them...thanks everyone!
