I used the form "actual" in regards to "alledge" quite often in warehouse records. Does that count as over usage?

Actually - I am VERY guilty of this overused word.

A friend of ours started using it, and darned if I didn't pick it up - without realizing it. (it's kind of like working somewhere where people swear alot - one day, you are just talking normally, and a swear word you would never say before - just pops out).

I hate when that happens!

I can live with all the others.... Its the "WHY" i can live without. I should start charging my kids a guarter every time they use that word. Guarantee you i could go on vacation at the end of the year!

Ah, Trish - kids NEED to ask 'WHY' - of course, sometimes they drive us nuts, and we don't know the answer to "why", so our kids would probably like a quarter every time we say "because I said so, that's why".

For awhile - everyone was mimicking Saddam Hussein - it was the "MOTHER" of everything - drove me nuts - the mother of all cars, the mother of all storms, the mother of all peanuts, etc., etc., etc.
