I agree. Also eXcetera. I realize that one has a few more letters than "ask" but please, it's eTcetera.

My pet peeves are, when someone says "My bad " is really so hard to say I'm sorry?????? I really hate that!!! Also my nephews used to call me "dude" I'd get so annoyed!

I hate the word ma. That is what my husband calls his mom and more often than not that is what he calls me. I keep telling him my name is mom.
