At this moment in time, Oxford University has compiled an absolutely, fairly unique list of the ten most irritating phrases in the English language. With all due respect, I personally think it’s a nightmare to limit the list to only ten. But, at the end of the day, Oxford provides a fair start to an effort that should continue 24/7 until all irritating phrases are eliminated.
My nominee for eleventh place on the list, “not for nothing.”
