#23870

OMG: One of my biggest pet peeves is the use of stock phrases at work - it means people are putting no thought into it - if I had a nickel for every time someone used the phrase "Please join me..." in an email - I could retire by 35!

You should make a list. I personally hate jargon & buzzwords with a passion.
