Rules of the Road

I just received this email from my son-in-law, as a warning for beginner bloggers:

Nan, 10 expressions you have to stop saying–like now…..This list was compiled by Oxford University scholars from a database they call the Oxford University Corpus.

1 – At the end of the day
2 – Fairly unique
3 – I personally
4 – At this moment in time
5 – With all due respect
6 – Absolutely
7 – It’s a nightmare
8 – Shouldn’t of
9 – 24/7
10 – It’s not rocket science

I responded:

Absolutely–those are perfect! So far, at the end of the day, I personally think I’m fairly unique in the world of blogs given others write 24/7 about little kids, little problems and with all due respect to their issues, at this point in time, writing about anything more–it’s a nightmare–so maybe I shouldn’t of even tried this at all. But again, it’s not rocket science…
