atw: Re: SEC: UNCLASS Pet hates

How about these choice morsels?
'at this point in time' = now
'in the fullness of time' = maybe not
'time is a great healer' = no idea
'in all probability' = perhaps
'a steep learning curve' = a shallow one, really

Does 'Orstayya' fit in here?

Worse cases include the usual journalistic 'correlation = causality' stuff we 
still seem to see both in print and on the 12-year-olds' box. Or worse yet, 
'post hoc, ergo propter hoc', meaning that the proposer understands the 
temporal notion of causality but little else.

There are plenty more - just listen to the youngsters on the ABC, that great 
forcing house of English impropriety.
