I wish you had told numerous secretaries that worked for me this information in such forceful and manly style. Would have saved many documents having to be edited.I hereby declare this to be National Don't Say "Should Of" when it's meant to be "Should Have" Day.
I've seen it once too often this morning already and it gets on my feckin' wick.
Rant over...for now.
Another one that gets my blood boiling is 'enamoured with' rather than the correct 'enamoured of'.I hereby declare this to be National Don't Say "Should Of" when it's meant to be "Should Have" Day.

And 'at this moment in time'. What's that all about?
Likewise with "could of" and "should of" .......
And liaison being misspelled.
Ok I'll do it. Misspelt.

"Going forward" would be one of my top 3 pet phrases in meetings. Who the hell would ever say "...and going backwards..."..?

One of my great achievements during my glorious career was to get German IT developers to normalise the use of the phrases 'it's like trying to nail a jelly to the ceiling', 'we need to talk about the elephant in the room' and 'it's like turkeys voting for christmas' into technical discussions. Regardless of what language they were conversing in.
Let’s touch base & have an amalgamation of ideas.
I like your blue sky thinking Derek.
