Years ago I spoke with the HR director of a large F500 firm and she told me that in an interview if she heard what she referred to as ‘upward intonations” she would move that persons name into the “NO” column.

Good for that person. Being a more seasoned citizen, a BIG pet-peeve of mine has been the use (for quite some time now) of IMPACT where AFFECT or EFFECT work perfectly well, but of course those don't have the same IMPACT...

What about saying “issues” instead of “problems”? That bugs me.

How about “Founder” and “Flounder?” Ever since “Animal House.” As an old sailor and fisherman, this drives me crazy!
