Daily writing promptWhat’s a word or phrase that annoys you?View all responses There are many phrases in this world that annoy me. Corporate buzzwords. Fake positivity. Passive aggressive nonsense.

#Grammar #annoyance: One does not "motion", in #ParliamentaryProcedure, one "moves". We do not say, "I motion…", we say, "I move…".

Tell yourself, when you feel exasperated and out of all patience, that this mortal life endures but a moment; it will not be long before we shall one and all have been laid to rest. [ὅταν λίαν ἀγανακτῇς ἢ καὶ δυσπαθῇς, ἀκαριαῖος ὁ ἀνθρώπειος βίος καὶ μετ᾿ ὀλίγον πάντες ἐξετάθημεν.]…
