To want to ban the use of certain words

People who use smart arse long fancy words but get them wrong
Nothing wrong with the right word even if it is a bit unusual, so I am not advocating dumbing down, but I do think they should take care to use the right word.

Why do people (usually young ones) constantly say "Oh my God".
Everything seems to be "amazing" is another annoying one.

Disabled toilets , who wants to use a disabled toilet? It should be 'toilets for the disabled'. And I really don't like 'a disabled room' in a hotel.

When did 'sick' become the word young people use for 'amazing'?

Young girls usually,saying to me 'ah bless you' and 'no probs',it's all good and no worries' when all I've done is made an appointment to have my hair done.

I love (which means I don't but it gives me a laugh)
This door is alarmed

<calm down, dear>

ariated
That's a good word GJ
What stressed out opera singers become instead of aerated???

Another one that annoys me is the over use of...love you.. Dropped in at the end of every phone call etc, completely emotionless, I even found my mother in law saying it to me! I know she loves me but I'd rather hear it occasionally with more feeling....or is it just me?

Goodness! until I saw a post saying this was morphing into Pedants' Corner, I really thought it was.

A takeover??? (but not hostile)

Company reorganisation........redundancies.

Kind regards! Can you get unkind regards? I thought Regards was correct?

Oh, I love these!

Fare changes - they're going up, so just say so!

"The new ... will cost four times less than the old one." NO!! It will cost a quarter of the previous price!!! Something was described as "a hundred times less" in the paper yesterday. What's wrong with "a hundredth" or even 1%?

My name is wheniwasyourage and I am a pedant.

So, ( beginning every answer)
"That's a very interesting question" ( heard constantly in radio interviews)
Pronouncing "a" as "aye". David Cameron does this ALL THE TIME. I'm waiting to hear that he had aye sandwich for lunch and aye coffee then aye fag and aye look at the Daily Mail.

'Know what I mean?' said after every statement. Drives me potty!

does that make sense? at the end of every sentence........ drives me nuts

'To be honest' although to be honest I love the word GUSSET

Phenomenal ....everything is on according to QVC.

Wow

I'm with merlot on 'so...'. It irritates me beyond measure, especially when it drops from the mouths of seasoned academics and other educated people who should know better.

I hate the television ads that tell you something is three nine nine or four two five. What's wrong with saying "It's three hundred and ninety nine pounds" or "It's four hundred and twenty five pounds"?

In restaurants jus what is jus

Stunning.

Around instead of about

Something "impacted people". No it didn't, it had an impact on them.

The indefinite article "a". Now widely pronounced "ay" in the media. David Cameron does it all the time.
"I had ay sandwich and ay coffee. Ay curry for dinner then ay walk with ay friend".

I want answers.
Going forward.
Trending.
Food which is "sat on a bed of (whatever)]
When English restaurants call rocket "Roquette".

Teenzy55 I also find "disabled toilet" really irritating. I get the urge to take out a felt tip pen and rewrite it.
