    I am genuinely and literally annoyed by this.

    Edit: Oh god, is it "genuinely speaking" now? Someone got that from "generally speaking", I bet you.

    Genuinely would be a slight improvement on literally. I wish those people that say "I literally died " would literally die

    So there seems to be this new fad where some people start every sentence with the word 'so'

    There are few things more annoying than being stuck on the phone to some English woman in a call centre speaking in an estuary accent who uses way too many superfluous adverbs. Actually, totally, unfortunately etc

    If you say it three times in the mirror Miriam O'Callaghan appears behind you and questions your views on politics, economics and society until you die.

    It's funny how Miriam looks a lot like Beetlejuice as she ages.

    For a while I was a minute-taker and I tended to get into the zone of typing their speeches verbatim for later tidying. I'd zone so the words were going straight through my head into the fingers and onto the screen, but later on when I came to clean up the notes, I noticed JUST HOW MUCH people use the word "so" when doing public speaking. It's ridiculous.
