SCADS AND SCADS OF WORDS

What is a word you feel that too many people use?

There is a plethora of words that I think are overused. Coming down to the one that I found, or find, the MOST distasteful is hard to pin down.

I am always annoyed by people who use the word “So” as a sentence opener. Quite frequently, in question-and-answer situations people being interviewed will use the word “so“ at the start of every sentence as they respond to the question.

In a similar way, the word “look” gets a fair old workout and can be a negative if tinged with impatience or exasperation.

People often overdo “and” by its use in creating long-winded and never-ending sentences.

The word that really makes me cringe, whenever it is used as a verbal construct is “uno”!

“Uno” is used at the beginning, all through and at the end of sentence. It is what might be called an ‘interjection”, a “filler” and other contexts. It should not be used at all.

Uno should be ‘no go’.
