WhatsoeverThe worst is when an annoying phrase is used wrongly and repeatedly. It exponentially increases its irritation levels.
I was once in a meeting with some big cheese from an HR systems company (they wanted us to write their pamphlets) that constantly misused the word "whatsoever". It was like some kind of verbal tic, and one that had me wincing inside.
"We really want the HR managers to see how this system could lighten their workload, whatsoever"
"Perhaps we could add in some stock photos, some bulletpoints, whatsoever"
"Let me run through this powerpoint with you, whatsoever"
Three. Hour. Meeting. ARGH.
