Well there isn't really anything to disagree with. My problem was with the "you're welcome". I threw that part in as an extra .02 for just how I approach things. So to your comment I would say I still hold true there, I don't want someone to say thank you for holding the door. While I'm on it I don't really like the door being held, just go ahead because when you hold it I feel the need to rush so as not to inconvenience you. If I'm close behind you just give the door an extra push so it swings open wider, same result.

"We are not provided with wisdom, we must discover it for ourselves, after a journey through the wilderness which no one else can take for us, an effort which no one can spare us, for our wisdom is the point of view from which we come at last to regard the world." --M. Proust
Funny - something I like to do is hold a door open for someone and not follow them through the door. I'll even go through the first to hold the second set of doors open. I typically do this when I see someone that will be trying to push a stroller through doors that don't have the automatic openers. It throws them for a loop when I leave the store rather than go in. Random acts of kindness.
(I know they can usually make it through on their own but it is easier if someone is holding the door.)
I like smorgasbord and cornucopia. I dislike when a person travels and says they “did” this place. There’s always more to explore, see and do.
If last night's National Spelling Bee doesn't make this thread rival TLTE, I don't know what will (cuz, sadly, it ain't Ymmm Beer).
"Amazing what a minute can do."
I believe upthread someone mentioned “honestly “ or “truthfully “ when what follows may not be. It reminds me of “with all due respect “... or even better “no offence...”
Criterion is a great word. Also a great name for a yacht. Or a thoroughbread horse.
Looks like most of my cringe-worthy words have already been covered, but …..
How did "so" become the first word in so many sentences??
This seems to really prevalent in radio interviews where the answer to most of the questions will begin with, "So..."
It's like a little weed that has suddenly popped up all over the place.
