List of top 10 irritating phrases in English.

Read the comments too...here is one of my favs
At the end of the day, what does it really mean? I personally think it's fairly unique if an individual can speak eloquently using any phrase, let alone these. However, at this moment in time, English language use is awful. It is absolutely horrifying what you hear today... it's a nightmare! They shouldn't of put this list out; instead, they should of focused on intelligible sentences by college graduates. I mean come on, using the English language is not rocket science, millions upon millions use it 24/7. With all due respect to the authors of this report...we're good to go, IMHO.

A word I'd add to the list is "Apparently"...

English in India

I was really amazed and happy to know that India has the second largest English speaking population in the world, next to the US. English being a global language and it not being our first language, i felt it was indeed a great achievement.

But then I came across this .......Incredible!

I am still to recover from the shock.
