"Actually" or "literally" (either one) at the beginning of a sentence. Hardly anything serves to remove someone's credibility better!

"Apps." Because if you can't even bother to write "application," I don't see how you're competent enough to fill one out!

Apps, as in application, refers to an application program, not a form to fill out....

App Definition. Define App. What is App?
