Tech writing peave: "Welcome!" as in, "Welcome to Object Delta Reporter
PAMDIT-1, Version 5.0.1!" Gee, I feel right at home now.

Tech industry peeve: "Empower" When upper management starts using "empower,"
start brushing up your resume. When "empower" appears in a mission statement,
run.

LIfestyle peeve: "To be honest with you..." You mean everything else you said
was a lie?
