is people, especially in the mainstream media, who say "the Democrat Party." When did it become "The Democrat Party"? It's the Democratic Party. It's an adjective. Put the "ic" on it. That's ic, not ick. My comment is grammatical, not political.
People who use the word "awesome." Constantly. "That's an awesome color scheme." Really? Tan, some shade of green, and white is an awesome color scheme? "That's an awesome surfboard." That's an awesome new cellphone." "I'm going to take a vacation next week." "Awesome." The word now has come to mean in general parlance nothing whatsoever. It is also grating. Truly, you all need to get out more, preferably to someplace such as the Grand Canyon, or the highest floor of a skyscraper to look out over a city, or a cliff overlooking the Pacific Ocean, or the desert, where you can view the night sky and the Milky Way. All of them truly awesome, as in awe-inspiring.
People who say "step foot." They mean "set foot." LEARN THE PHRASE.
People who use the word "like" as some kind of place holder. It's a word tic. I mean, like, they say it, like, constantly, like every other, like word, in like, every, like, sentence. Get a, like, grip, like, NOW, and like, STOP IT. It's, like, really, like, annoying, and sounds, like, really, like, unprofessional, and like, juvenile, and like, makes it, hard to, like take, them, like seriously. Put the phrase, "I mean" and "you know" in the same category. I mean, you know, they are also, I mean, very annoying, you know.
Rant over, but like the Terminator, I'll be back. That "like" is a proper use, by the way. So if you were going to pounce and to comment ironically on my improper use of the word, you lose.
