People who say "awkward" all the time

I was teasing.

 

I know, me too!

 

One I hate the most.... "It's all good..."



It's obviously not all good.

 

i use all the above........... so shoot me

 

I also dislike "so shoot me."

 

bang

 

I receive quite a few emails from my manger where he says: 'moving forward' or 'going forward' - rather than 'in the future' etc. It seems to be horrible American business speak. It really has no place in the UK.

 

maybe they are thinking ''outside the box''..........

 

Atleast that one is kind of an improvement.

 

let them create their own language and use it or say fuckward who cares

 

I care. I care for others, too. WE have to listen to it.

 

Moving forward I'd like you to express to the manager your displeasure in his lexicon.

 

I've tried to over-use it, and use it out of context - but he doesn't seem to get it. Everything I do seems to be: 'moving forward'. It wouldn't be so bad if there was a slight introduction of it - but all of a sudden there it was. We work a lot with the NHS, and they do tend to use that type of language all of the time. It makes them feel like they know what they are talking about - I'm sure.

 

Sue me is even worse :2thumbsup:

 

yes, a lot of business speak is terrible. I think that they like to say "moving forward", since it has connotations of optimism and progress not present in the term "in the future".

 

Business language has become ridicilous indeed. It's all about twisting it into positiveness or something more interesting. We also get the stupid job names + twisted task descriptions over here so that even when you clean the toilets it sounds like you are managing some part of the company I think it's becoming a universal trend..

 

output flow management :2thumbsup:

 

Would not be suprised at all, it sometimes get that ridicilous.
