    I hate it when my kids and their friends use the phrase "on accident" instead of "by accident". UGH! I WILL correct them EVERY time, even if I know I'm going to get 'the look'.....

    why do people hate the word moist so much. Aren't cakes often described as being moist? or a face cream that makes your face soft and "moist." does the word moisture bother people the same way? just curious.

    Chinzy - Like nails on a chalkboard!


    And any sentence that ends in a preposition. Never end your sentence with at. (A guy here at work does that all the time. Sounds so unprofessional to tell a customer "Let me go check where that orders at".)

    Really, really don't understand the hatred for the word moist. I didn't even know that was a thing until a couple of months ago. So odd to me.

    Words that make me cringe are few and far between - but there are quite a few idioms and expressions that make me cringe.

    Tone (as in, "I just want to tone")
    Journey
    As someone above mentioned, when people say "on accident".

    Oh, and when wives refer to themselves as Mrs. (insert husband's full name)....are you not your own person any more???

    I personally LOVE the word "moist." :wink:

    Supposably. Ugh, it's not even a word.
    Medium when someone's talking about the "median" in the road.

    Not a word but a phrase...it's not "for all intensive purposes" the correct phrase is "for all intents and purposes"

    Good one!
