Reach outA couple of years ago some of my American work colleagues started using the phrase 'reach out', as in, if you need to know more just reach out to me. I thought this would just be a short term thing, but now, it has grown, and now they all use it, all the time. You can't phone, IM or e mail anyone any longer, you have to 'reach out' to them. It drives me crazy, and I just feel like reaching out with my hands towards their throat... Luckily it's usually a phone conference...
Edit: fixed spelling. Bloody wanky iPads.

I just start singing"Reach out, I'll be there". That stops them.

Dyslexic fingersReach out for the spellchecker or let someone proof read, then it might make some sense. Grrrr, spelling.

Oh God...I've just started at a company where this is a common phrase. It makes me want to heave every time. Bloody Americans...
