Another term I hate.
"wherefore." I hate it. Absolutely hate it when they say "wherefore." It's a word but it's not a modern word, it's old English and these people use it because they want to sound sophisticated and smart (smarter than they are) or that's my guess, maybe they just think it's a good word, I don't know. They don't even really use it in context. "I have two lines wherefore I have 1000 minutes to use."
Grr.
Grr.
...
I have a pet peeve wherefore people say wherefore when it is not called for by the context of the conversation.
...
but those words I'm sure you use in context, not like these jokers and their complete lack of understanding as to what the word actually means.
...
"You people" Oh this is a really fast way to make me not like you and not want to help. Maybe i was willing to grant an exception a second ago or give you a courtesy credit after you say that you get nothing...you hear? nutin.
...
OMG... that's funny. I haven't heard that since, well, before I walked.
I couldn't STAND it when someone would say "you people..." to me. That was it. Those 2 little words would make me cringe. My neck would stiffen, my eyes would get this feeling like they were going to explode and I wanted to reach thru the phone and strangle whoever it was that I was talking to. It was bad. Unhealthy, bad. Anyone who knows me knew that if you really wanted to get my goat, say "you people..." to me. After that, you got NO respect or courtesy from me. I think I even said it back to a customer once... "If you poeple would read the contract..." 👿
Automatic smoke break after those calls.

"In regards to." I hate that one too. When they are trying to sound smart. They aren't. They need to stop trying to fool me. I can tell.
