nindot lagi i compose og letter nga naa na tanan hehehe

At the end of the day, all that matters is the general opinion of English speakers NOT British-English speakers alone. British are fairly unique people and I personally think at this moment in time, if this is really a big deal in communication. With all due respect to the Britons, it absolutely makes me wonder why it's a nightmare of an issue to them when they shouldn't of make a fuss out of it as these phrases are not used on a 24/7 basis and it's not rocket science to know this fact.

Oxford University has chosen the 10 most-hated sloppy idiomatic expressions. The Telegraph reports the most hated phrase was "at the end of the day," while "fairly unique" came in a close second.

Oxford researchers explained that the phrase "at the end of the day" was chosen because it could be summed up in one word: "finally," while "fairly unique" is an oxy*****.

In third place was "I personally," which was tautological, while coming in at eighth was "shouldn't of," an illiterate rendering of "shouldn't have."

Writer Jeremy Butterfield said the ninth most-hated phrase "24/7" was repeated too often and became office jargon. He pointed out that people were growing increasingly tired of repetitive anecdotes, jokes and involuntary linguistic tics.

Although they did not make the Top 10, "literally" and "ironically" were also chosen as expressions that irritated people.

The Top 10 were:

1. At the end of the day
2. Fairly unique
3. I personally
4. At this moment in time
5. With all due respect
6. Absolutely
7. It's a nightmare
8. Shouldn't of
9. 24/7 (twenty-four seven)
10. It's not rocket science
