Re: 'Whatever' = most annoying word in English Language
I hate the way kids are taught to use stupid jargon phrases of speech here. I particularly dislike the way my then 6 year old had would say I have to learn to be more "self responsible" and that in my 9 year olds class they don't discuss their work, they "conference" it!!
I also don't like "sedgeway" never heard it before I came here.

Re: 'Whatever' = most annoying word in English Language
I have a personal hatred of the largely American custom of over-using someone's first name - such as when someone uses your name in every sentence while talking to you. I always liked the old Scandanavian belief that names are a kind of personal magic toekn, and over-use of the name wears out the magic.

I think of sedge as a kind of grass.

The most annoying and overused word for me is AWESOME 
Oh and people how say "hello?" (inferring that someone else is stoopid) with that stoopid expression on their own faces

I went to the shops so I did. Then I bought some sweets so I did.
Luckily I had it beaten out of me in primary school so I did.
