JustInFudge Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 I had a boss who said irregadless at least once a day. The whole office would role their eyes at each and make fun of him behind closed doors. He also liked to say "key critical"....a little redundant, no?

I had this contractor working for me at Johnson and Johnson...any time you asked him how he was doing...he'd replay, "super fantastic, crazy as ever". I would do my best not ask how he was doing when I saw him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The whole office would role their eyes at each and make fun of him behind closed doors. He also liked to say "key critical"....a little redundant, no? Yeah, in my office we all mocked my boss for constantly pluralizing status as "stati". The best (and perhaps worst) part of it all? How this all came to be was that one day she was rambling on and on about not knowing how to pluralize status (it's freakin' status), and after eventually getting tired of listening to her, I eventually threw "stati" out there as the answer, with it being rather apparent (at least to everyone else) that I was just being an ass about it. Apparently not to her though, as bitch used it non-stop for the next 5 years I was there, and I have no doubt that still does to this day. My personal favorite was the one time when she actually used it while on a conference call with some of our clients. I could almost hear them wondering how they could seriously be paying a company to do work for them that employees such people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxman Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 Intensive As for the at thing, ending a sentence with a preposition is a no-no but it is common. That one doesn't bother me as much as the others. The I could care less, when the person means the opposite, is a big personal pet peeve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bombdirt Posted November 2, 2013 Share Posted November 2, 2013 That actually works, technically. It expresses a minimal amount of concern. But "I couldn't care less" expresses no concern whatsoever, which is what people mean when they get it wrong. Look at it this way: "I couldn't care less" = "I don't give a sh*t. I literally have no sh*t to devote toward this particular situation." "I could care less" = "I have some sh*t to give, and the possibility exists for my sh*t to be smaller and/or less significant." Of course, the problem could be avoided altogether if people would just say "I don't give a sh*t" in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The I could care less, when the person means the opposite, is a big personal pet peeve. I was pretty buzzed last night.. wasn't even sure what you were asking. I agree not ending a sentence with a preposition is a myth but in this case it holds true. IMO just asking what's the best # to use or what is your phone number sounds much better than throwing an "at" in there. Another one that ticks me off is people who use supposeably instead of supposedly. Brian Custer from the post game show actually used supposeably a couple times last year. I wondered why a producer wasn't in his ear telling him fix that sh-t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
