On a <fill in your favorite adjective> basis.

Do people no longer understand adverbs?

If you mean that something happens daily, say that it happens daily, not "on a daily basis".

If you mean something happens regularly, say that it happens regularly, not "on a regular basis".

If you mean that something happens monthly, or as needed, or occasionally, or whatever (I know, I know), then say so. If you want to discuss returns before taxes, or after taxes, then say "returns before taxes", or "returns after taxes" (or "pretax returns" and "after-tax returns", respectively), not "returns on a pre-tax basis", or "returns on an after-tax basis".

I tell my students that if I had ever hear the word "basis" come out of their mouths they had better mean "a linearly independent set of vectors that spans a vector space".

 

I cant believe you guys missed out the most annoying word of them all............................................... ...........

I'll use it in context:


"So I was like at the show and this guy was like smiling at me and he was like UBER gorgeous"

Phuk-ing annoying. My girl uses the words "like" and "okiedokie" about 1 million times a day when she's having a conversation.

 

I say "alrighty" more than I'd like to admit, and I hate it, but I can't seem to stop myself. It just comes out!

 

that's grounds for breakup.

 

"..and whatnot" especially when people use it after every sentence.

 

like that was like already covered on like page 1 by "beanseff". Like learn how to like read. Alrighty?

 

Like Okiedokie, but I was like trying to convey that the word "UBER" is awesomely annoying...If you like know what Im saying

I hope to have a reply by COP (Close of play) today.....thats another phrase my boss uses that annoys the hell out of me!!!
