Words to Avoid in 2017

In case you missed it, the Marist Institute for Public Opinion came out with its list of what, according to their poll, were the most annoying words and phrases of 2016.  They are

  • Whatever [THE most irritating by far, the poll says]
  • No offence, but
  • You know, right
  • I  can’t even
  • Huge [I wonder where that came from…]

No offence, but I can’t even imagine people thinking certain words and phrases make any huge difference in our lives, you know, right?  Whatever.
