I don't hate "decimate," but I hate that it is used incorrectly about 90% of the time.

I have a physician that tells me "irregardless" for every brainstorming discussion /idea he has. Maybe a dozen times in an hour meeting. 3 days a week.


But my biggest one for 2020 is "Virtually". Especially when paired with Reality. You arent getting it.
