Anyone else ever heard a schedule or timetable for a job called a 'critical path analysis'? I get that all the time and it gets on my tits.

Slightly O/T but "I'm like, she was like" etc. Why not just say "I said, she said"

My partner (there's a wankism - 'partner'), hates it when I say 'we're cooking with gas', although I rather like using it.
American forces killing innocent people in Iraq or Muslim Africa being labelled 'collateral damage'. Bollocks, it's murder.
People mispronouncing words -
'Schedule' pronounced 'skedule'. IT'S 'SHEDULE'- the c is silent. Or using the word 'inferring' when they mean 'implying'. There's a big f***ing difference, you illiterate twats.
