She says it on a regular basis. When she does, I momentarily get intense and am set for an epic blowup, but then I ask myself (in my mind) if it's really worth it. It usually isn't.
Irregardless, it still irritates me. I'll prolly mention it to her sometime, perhaps after some onboarding session she's hosting.

There are people at my work that think ideals = ideas. "There were some good ideals in the meeting last week."

People that use the word "absolutely" as the standard answer for every question that they dont want to answer "no".
Hey is this book good? Absolutely.
Is Mark here today? Absolutely.
Was she a good lay on the kitchen table after a nice dinner? Absolutely.

Although he does not know crap about what is being discussed, all he would do is shake head and go absolutely!

one that really pisses me off, and anyone in the military can vouch for this

i heard that for 3 1/2 years EVERYDAY, now every time i hear it i almost come unglued
one more thing that pisses me off, when kids/teenagers and some grown ass people who talk in text message language, when they do this do this, i want to smack the hell out of them
