A milestone’s not a thing? So what’s the old stone down the road from me that reads, “Chester 25 miles”?

I concur completely.

The offending bastardization of language seems to be the trend of the year. I work in media and can count its use in the twenties each day. Its seems people find it lends authority to the subject they are conveying when in fact, it speaks to their sheepish demeanor.

Glad others feel the same way!

This is great! I am listening to a conference call and I’ve tallied 30 “going forward”s in twenty minutes.

Whenever I hear it, I want to become homicidal. Only the fear of prison restrains my terrible swift sword.

Your non-business examples are the best explanation I’ve seen to illustrate how unnecessary, inappropriate, and stupid the phrase is.

Thank you!

Comment on Palm by R. Miller

I think the correct pronunciation of palm is somewhere between polm and pom. Like you, I pronounce the L, but it’s an extremely subtle L which makes the word sound nothing like pom.

I hate hearing people pronounce the T in “often.” Whenever I hear it, I try to respond with a sentence where I can pronounce the T in “listen.”

I just thought I would let you know that this is one of the most entertaining reads I’ve had in quite a while and I agree with you completely. Suckfun. Classic.

Comment on Aubergine by sharperguy

Everyone in the UK has been brought up either using the word aubergine or, more likely, never hearing the word aubergine or eggplant because it’s not bland enough for the Brittish diet.
