Here's another phrase that is not only overused but used incorrectly:

"Hopefully, somone will answer your question."

I know that's wrong, yet I often use the expression for want of an alternative.

"Hopefully, somone will answer your question."

Grammar threads generate forcefields that cause typos and other errors to occur. It's just a law of nature. On a grammar thread it doesn't matter how many times you proofread your post, your eyes won't see the mistake.

I think you meant to say "Hopefully, salmon will answer your question" ;)
