Re: Position Elimations ....?
No, it's olde English.
I hate '24/7', 'no brainer', erm, what else? Oh yes, 'thinking outside the box'. I met with somebody a few days ago who actually used that one. I also hate 'it's on my radar'. No it isn't. You'd forgotten all about it, you incompetent fool.

"I'll write you" has to be the very worst. Do you wish me to stand straight with a pointy bit towards some paper? OK. Which end do you suppose the ink to be, you moronic fool?

Ok, so what about........
Cheers (without having a drink in your hand)
A fag is a cigarette?
Randy is a man's name not an expression of sexual desire!

Ok... so what about British expressions?
You greet everyone you come across the office (even the janitor) and say "How are you?", like you really mean it.
"Top of the morning" is also one thing that comes to mind.

Of course all the American expressions are annoying...........
"Missing you already".............. "Enjoy".................. "..... and then some......."..... etc, etc..........
I prefer the more sincere British approach:
"If it ain't on the shelf, we ain't got none."
"The bloke what deals with that ain't 'ere."
"That's our policy and that's all there is to it."
"It's not my job, so I can't 'elp yer."
etc etc ad infinitum..........
