Annoying words
Are there any words that just grate on your nerves when you hear them? A word that drives me crazy is: whatnot
How about you?

Yeah, I've heard some variations on it, even just within a 5-mile radius. 
"Henna or no?" sounds like something you'd hear in a beauty parlor. 
Still weirds me out. Like "Go with", as in "Are you going to go with?" Go with WHO?!? They never say!!!   |

It's the words that aren't words that bother me. An example is "irregardless," and whatnot.
Then, I'm so sick of the word "service" as used in marketing. I feel it is wholly inappropriate to use it and, accordingly, I find it amateurish writing, you know, like a horrific pandemic. Annoying, hainit?
