“At this point in time”- things like that are what I call filler-phrases. “In other words” bugs me like crazy…explain it effectively the first time so I do not have to listen to you fumble all over yourself trying to explain it again in a slightly different way!

People who add apostrophes at the end of every word ending with an s. I have dog’s and take them for walk’s in several park’s. I use my dog’s to meet girl’s.

> If you are one of these people that spells ‘yo-yos’ as ‘yo-yo’s’, then please stop. The apostrophe indicates that ‘yo-yo’ owns something. Yo-yo doesn’t own anything. That’s a load off this school teacher’s chest.
