I hope he doesn't put an ASTERICK on anything. And if he puts ASTERICKS on more than one item, I have serious issues.Miles wrote:CameronBornAndBred wrote:Axe your boss to pronounce it correctly.Miles wrote:My boss says "eckcetera"
Thanks man. I needed that.

. One of my quirky annoyances is "fairly unique" or "rather unique" or "somewhat unique". I don't think there can be varying degrees of "uniqueness". It either is or it isn't.....unique, that is.

I've been hearing this a lot lately (or my ears have been tuning in to it) and it seems to more often be a cover-up for any of the following:
"not like I want it to be"
"not like it used to be"
"different from me"
"not like around here"
[Aside: I've never, ever heard the phrase/word, "un-Canadian."
