Any phrase where the writer sticks a question-mark at the end, presumably because they are stupid. A random (and admittedly unremarkable) example from my town's Facebook noticeboard today: "I've looked in the recommendations section, but I can't find any removals company?"

Phrases that include "may you" instead of "make your". Ooo, you geographical rasist 'May you' is Queens English, 'Make you' as in "i make you right" is a London/Southern term. Ive got headache now.
This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise. |

(Pssst! I was mocking the thread title, which has subsequently been corrected. Incidentally, the younger Miss YT has always said "May you please...?" rather than "Would you please...?" (eg May you please pass the salt?). I've always found it quite endearing.) Edited by YT (25 Jun 2019 6.33pm) Edited by YT (25 Jun 2019 6.34pm)

As a champion of streamline communication I'd like to reach out to you all to showcase the benefit of cliched-jagon. Using it adds value and delivers meaningful results. Take a moment and brainstorm how thinking out of the box can clear a path for blue sky thinking. I'm going to hell.
