I blame my mum
I can usually gloss over many things, but when something is brought to my attention I really struggle to beat back my inner pedant. My mum is the worst for pointing these things out. One that has stuck with me for a while is 'for free'. NO! It's free, or for nothing. It's only a mild irritant but it's everywhere!!!

I tend to overuse many words and phrases myself, some of them fairly heinous. For example "do you wanna....?" as in "do you come and pick me up?" or "do you wanna hand me that kipper?". I don't think it's really an issue though, as I tend to notice that I'm constantly saying something before anyone else, and just stop doing it. Problem solved.

For free
also, Free Gift!. If it wasn't free, it wouldn't be a gift, now piss off with your abhorrent tautologies.

My wife
used to use "do you want to" all the time.
After a few months of me answering "no, but I'll do it if you really insist" to questions like "do you want to pass my that drink?" she stopped.
She hates me, but you can't make an omelette......

why stick to just blaming?
society is getting quite litigious now you know. Sure you can find someone in a Jeremy Kyle ad break who will sue her for you. No win no fee no shame!

That, my friend
is a superb idea.

Now pay up or your head gets flushed again.
