"I love you" instead of "you ruined my life"

You guys are posting so many of the same things that trouble me!

Here's another one that drives me absolutely WONKY...

"Okay, no offense but..."

The word "but" simply negates everything that preceeded it. "I'm sorry but.." Please, no BUTS. Please say what you truly mean and mean it sincerely. No "but" action, please (unless it's the good kind. Cha-ching!) ;)

And much like it was referred to in the movie Mean Girls, if somebody says "no offense, but.." expect that you are going to hear the most offensive thing ever.

Mean Girls started the whole "I know, right?" thing. Just like Clueless started the whole "As if" thing.
:D

Ooh! I just heard one in our office. One of my co-workers likes saying "acrost" instead of "across".

It's "espresso", not "expresso" damnit!

And on a related subject, the use of "X" as a syllable. e.g. "Xtreme", "Xcelleration"

The "expresso"/"espresso" thing annoyed me when I was working at Borders.

I love you all.

I'm now so terrified of making a grammatical error that I can hardly type.:p

Most of the posters here have no need to be afraid. You included, Lindy. You do fine.

Am I the only one who is amused by the subtle irony of this statement.
