I also can't stand it when people misuse "however" for "but." Call me pedantic.

Stay far away from Australia, then, my friend ...
As for the OP, if you mean in written English, it has to be "alot" -- there is no such word!!!
I realize "going forward" is a phrase rather than a single word, but it is loathesome nonetheless.
"Orientate" also bugs me.

Nobody's mentioned anything about "curse words." I'm far from being a prude...but I do generally prefer to avoid cursing in public. Most of the time it's sooooo unnecessary. But in private...now that's a whole different story (Such as when I'm in my car). Having said that... Regardless of the situation, the one curse word which I truly find repugnant is "asshole"... I reserve its use for only very, very rare circumstances. And if it's ever directed to anyone in partcular, they've got to be some kind of serious lowlife. Dennis

"Vibrant" is a very over-used and annoying word, I think.
I was surprised to see a couple of fellows mentioning "kudos." I don't mind it at all properly used, but when people think it's a plural it sets my teeth on edge, e.g., "Soandso deserves a kudo [sic] for his performance," or, "Soandso garnered many kudos for completing this difficult task."
