    So let me clarify... The correct use of the English language annoys people that aren't actually English?

    Mind... Blown.

    It makes me sad another American would create this thread. This is why we can't have nice things.

    For most overused words here on MFP?
    journey
    loose (instead of lose)
    cleanse


    UGH. I hate when people say "weight loss journey" or even worse just "journey." I have never noticed anyone saying whilst.

    I wonder what happens when they finish their "journey" :huh:

    I think some (I say some as I have a lot of love for Americans) think that they created their own language. How cute.

    I also use awesome. And Dbag Far too much. :laughs:
