When I write I'm guilty of what people 'round these parts call Pseudo-Intellectualism. There are a slew of words and phrases that I overuse to achieve this. "Quite" "Actually" "Due to the fact" "My own" "In all" Etc, etc... (I can't think of any more  ) Trying to sound classy and dramatic is a pretty fake way to communicate. I'd like to make my words sound more natural and everyday. I still love the gentleman icons and the romantic idea of aristocracy, horse driven carriages, and candle lit courtyards. But I don't live there. You know? |

I make these mistakes all the time, at least while writing. "In fact" "Actually" "the reason is because" <-- just plain wrong. "basically" Strangely, I don't make these same mistakes while speaking. Although my behaviour, in-person, is quite eccentric for other reasons.  |

"The way I see it..."
"Well, you've got to take into account that..."
"That's true but... [refute entire premise of other person's statement]"

"...and whatnot."
"...and stuff."
"...And, uh, yeah, words."

My biggest offender is the word "well". Not as in, "I am feeling well," but as in, "Well, okay," or "Well, let's do this!" or something like that.

I rarely say 'epic', but that word needs to be wiped from existence.

I'm glad that I've managed to learn away from "awesome" and "epic", especially now that I know that "epic" doesn't actually mean the thing we use it for in the internet.
Anyway:
"I guess"
"It seems"
"as usual"
There are a ton more, but as usual I can't recall most of them.
