There is no word I hate more than nice. It's bland, meaningless and adds nothing useful to a sentence when there's thousands of other descriptive words in the English language.
What word(s) do you hate? |

I have a particular dislike for stupid made up words and phrases like ‘nom nom’ instead of ‘delicious’ and the classic ‘amazeballs’. Like, what does that even mean? It’s stupid.
Other than that, I like most words in the dictionary. |

"Not a word but (part of) a phrase
"Should of" as in:
"I should of gone home an hour ago"
Arrrrrrgggghhhhhh!
Is it not should have "
I think they were just giving an example in context. |

"Waiting for someone to say ‘moist’

I'm 100% with you on 'nom'. It's not a sound that anyone ever makes whilst eating, it's not descriptive, it's just social media bollocks!

"The use of a truly awful American imported word:-
Awesome.
Used utterly out of context by people who've no idea what it really means!"
Don’t forget ‘Super’ |

There and to the left a bit |
Anything "textspeak" - once hear someone in a lift say "Obvs" out loud - I cringed!!
Oh and another I was reminded of today by my FB ti_eline thing - overheard two people in the office, one male, one female, he was thanking her for some work she'd done for him and said "You're a hero" as part of his thanks - her reply? "I'm not, I'm a she-ro" and she was serious!! 
And finally saying you want something "to go" in a cafe or restaurant etc - nope I want it "to take away" please |

"There is no word I hate more than nice."
Ma last Headmaster, who was our English teacher as well, instilled into us many different words of describing something aesthetic.
If you watch Quest, check out the guy in the waxing a chair advert for one of their programs, I think he says nice about 13 times  |

Any word that is spelt incorrectly, used incorrectly, or forms part of a sentence that is grammatically incorrect. I’m not an English teacher (or the grammar police), but I certainly SHOULD HAVE been.
Yes, I’m an absolute hoot at parties. |

Och, no, it would drive me mad. English could be such an expressive language if used right  |

Surely the biscuit is named after the city in France! |

I love words, but for me it's when they are used incorrectly. When people use the wrong word or don't know the proper meaning. Arghhhhhhhh ... and imported Americanisms that have no meaning here - gotten |

The misuse of 'your' when 'you are' is meant - the correct abbreviation is 'you're'.
A misused 'too' when a plain 'to' is meant.
Text speak abbreviations of any kind.
... I do have more... |
