"My Bad", especially from folks that should have grown up a long time ago...I hear it all the time. To me the person using that phrase sounds like an imbecile. What happened to "I'm sorry" or "excuse me".
At least, it seems to me, the phrase "you know" said at least a half dozen times with each sentence spoken has fallen by the wayside.

In my neck of the woods, "You know" has been replaced by the F word. A while back, I brought it to a woman's attention that she had said the F word (I didn't abbreviate it) THREE times in a single sentence. Slack jawed, she actually made no response and walked away ... as if there was something wrong with ME.At least, it seems to me, the phrase "you know" said at least a half dozen times with each sentence spoken has fallen by the wayside.

Ooooh forgot one...
Not having to do with abbreviations...but I hate it when people pronounce the word "ask" as "Ax". Or when people can't pronounce spaghetti.
Especially when someone meant moot, but either spelled it or pronounced it as "mute". This violation causes brain cells to explode.
While I agree "problem" is more accurate than "issue" I eventually got used to the word."Issue(s)", when the word "problem(s)" is accurate and carries more emphasis.

And now that they have taken it a step further, and call them "opportunities" I now long for the days when there were "issues".
Anybody that calls a "problem" an "opportunity" probably has no ability to fix that problem.
Or any problem for that matter.
Douches.
