    While we are at it, why does everyone literally always start their post with "OK", "so" or "basically?" I even saw one a few days ago that started: -
    OK, so basically ...............

    I'm potentially guilty of that one :(

    But I literally think my most hated phrase is literally before everything when it isnt. It literally kills me.

    It's 'gotten' really bad recently, hasn't it.

    Is gotten the past tense of getten?

    My personal flaw (1 of many) is saying 'treat' *trett* as the past tense of treated. Its a Northern thing... I didnt even realise it wasnt a real word until my Southern history teacher went mental at the class because we all kept saying 'the X people were treat very badly by...'

    Autocorrect obviously wouldnt pick it up either :rotfl:

    Gotten is an actual word though!

    He has got a haircut vs he has gotten a haircut.

    She had gotten lucky with her lottery numbers.

    (No I am not saying it is always used correctly)

    Those irrationally annoy me.

    If you can say something just as clearly while omitting a word, omit the word. Adding "OK" to the front of a post adds nothing and just makes you look dumb.
