Annoying phrases:

[madmaggot]

Am I the only one who gets annoyed when people say things like:
'at this moment in time' instead of 'at the moment'
'I, myself, personally' instead of 'personally'
'hence the reason' instead of 'hence'
etc, etc.
There are many more but these are the ones that particularly get to me.
