Re: Awful words
I know it's a phrase, but "out of pocket" to imply unavailable drives me crazy. Like, who's pocket are you in when you are available???

Re: Awful words
No, probably not. I withdraw the question your honor. Just please make them stop saying Out of Pocket.
And while we're at it, make them stop saying synergy, too. And corporate culture.

I'm big on usage trumping dictionaries or "correct" grammar, but "all the sudden" makes no sense and just bugs me.

Re: Awful words
What is a sudden and how do you group them together into an "all"? Is it already plural like deer?ghostrunner wrote: ↑May 17 22, 10:26 amI'm big on usage trumping dictionaries or "correct" grammar, but "all the sudden" makes no sense and just bugs me.
