Dennis Prager is fond of saying he'll take clarity over agreement any day and that is a good phrase to keep in mind when you open your big mouth to join the debate. In keeping with the quest for intelligent dialog, here is a list of ten things that I think we should all stop saying because it makes those who indulge in them look, well, stupid.

"Supposebly" (sic) is a credibility-killer for me.
Supposebly, that makes me close-minded.

I hate it when people say, “Things could be worse.”
Yes, things could always be worse, but that doesn’t mean that they are not bad now!

To: schwingdoc
By the way, that begs the question:
Why do people say “begs the question” without realizing that to “beg the question” is to attempt to answer it by merely restating it, rather than meaning to “raise” the question?

To: Cyber Liberty
You hit on one of my favorite dumb things people say...and for exactly the same reason you state....if you could care less, than you must care some right now, which is usually the opposite of what the person is saying..
To: woodro43
"That begs the question" is used incorrectly almost always.
To: Erasmus
Oops. I didn’t see your post before I did #55.
To: illiac
alot While we're at it, can we please do away with that non-existent "word"?
It's "a lot".

Pronouncing “err” as “air”.
To: schwingdoc
...and most people using the phrase, “begging the question,” have no idea what that means either.
Drives me nuts...but it’s a short trip.

“Alright for all right.”
How can you tell which they are saying?
