If it's a fact, you don't need the word "True".

I disagree. The media and politicians spout all kinds of "facts" these days that are not true.

Those aren't facts then.

That reminds me. Vacay and staycay

"Can I move over?", when your in the passenger seat on the highway and the driver is too lazy to check their side mirror and blindspot.

"Convo" instead of Conversation.

I've just recently seen this in use and wonder if the guy saying convo thought it made his sound really cool, instead of really dopey...

""Pretty much" and not using ly after words such as he did badly....not he did bad.

"Long story short" when said by someone telling a story that is anything but short.

Using the word "Meters" instead of "Miles" in an American movie about a plot in America.

It comes across like we know we're backward Americans, but we're trying our best to keep up with those smart Europeans...

Gag!

"Melty"

I hate it. And it's not a word. Quit using it, tv commercials.

An actual notice sent out to provide information about a conference:

"The purpose of the conference is to facilitate a dialogue and come to a shared appreciation of a vision and priorities that will shape the command's approach towards organizational structure to facilitate mission requirements."

Sometimes you live in a Dilbert cartoon.

I've never been here, in my whole life.

"I've never been here" is enough without adding: "in my whole life"

"...this is a true story...." All of the rest of 'em are not?
