A word about my blog .....

I'm using this blog to keep notes on my life and experiences, plus to keep track of my own recovery from a stroke (December 2006).

For those of you who were not aware, my brother, John, died on February 10, 2010. His remains were cremated and interred at Green Hills Memorial Park.

1117 it’s not rocket science .... is it?

I received an e-mail from a friend about a study by researchers at Oxford University that compiled the ten most irritating phrases in the English language. They are, in order of obnoxiousness:

1) at the end of the day
2) fairly unique
3) I personally
4) at this moment in time
5) with all due respect
6) absolutely
7) it’s a nightmare
8) shouldn’t of
9) 24/7
10) it’s not rocket science

I know that I’m guilty of using all of these phrases in my use of the language. Absolutely!
