Issue<\/strong><\/em> <\/strong>– Apparently, there are no problems anymore, only issues<\/em>. My inbox is replete with sentences such as, “If you have any issues with the new release, please feel free to reach out to me.<\/em>” So now if your child misbehaves she’s not a problem child, no no, she’s a child with issues<\/em>. In the new world things no longer break, no sir, they merely have issues<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Reach Out <\/strong>– <\/em>Happy Wife especially despises this one. Even in professional contexts she too frequently hears, “We will reach out to the patient to… blah blah.<\/em>” Oh, you mean you will contact <\/em>the patient (to blah blah)? “Yeah, whatever, that’s what I said.<\/em>” No, you said…never mind.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I point out in my book<\/strong><\/em> – Number two on Happy Wife’s most-annoying phrases list. Prefacing the point you’re about to make with self-promotion is annoying. I agree. Stop that authors, whoever you are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Listen closely (if you’re able) to a conversation between two modern millennials, and you’ll hear something similar to this – “So like, we were at my car, and he was like, what’s up with your face? And I was like, whatever. And then he like starts walking away and I’m like, screw you. And then, like, he turns around and says, ok, like, I didn’t mean that, and I’m like, ok, whatever, just get in the car. And then, like, for the rest of the day he’s like it never happened.” <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
