Three words that bug me, and a minor miff

Ok, seriously.

Utilize is a stupid word. I hate it. It has no use whatsoever. It's just a word for pompous people.

Irregardless isn't even a word. It barely makes it in the dictionary as non-standard usage.

Like has it's uses, like in a simile, but i wish to God my kids would stop using it to start every sentence.Like, that really pisses me off.

And finally, Luminous Light -- please... don't do that.

Irregardless of whether I agree or not, I'll attempt not to utilize those words.  I mean, especially if they like really irritate you.

In the mean time, I know it's in the dictionary n'all, I really hate President Warren Harding's word "normalcy" (dude, "normalITY")... basically, it'd be like saying W's mispronounciation of "nuclear" was now correct.

Oh, and like, OMG!, how can you not LOVE "Luminous Light"?!?!

Dude, in the rest of the English speaking world, it's spelled utilise.

Does that piss you off more, or less?
