okay, my whole life, i've said "wait in line," "stand in line," etc. now all of a sudden, i've noticed that's it's like the new thing to replace the "in" with "on." am i the only person to find this annoying? i'm not sure that it's incorrect, although it certainly sounds stupid. plus, it leads to confusion due to the internet connotation.
another thing i hate is how people say "supposably." i know it's a real word, but it's such a stupid one. i get the impression that most people who overuse it don't know it's a real word either and just say it because they think they're being cute and endearingly childlike. that makes it all the more obnoxious.
also, why do people say "orientate"? it means the exact same thing as "orient," but sounds clumsier. that's another one of those words that sounds fake and kind of like a mispronunciation of another word. it bothers me so much.
