More than one Reese?

While I’m sure the blizzard is still great, Harry Burnett Reese might not like this sign. He was, after all, the one AND only one named Reese credited with creating the Peanut Butter Cup in 1928. That’s why the peanut butter cup has “Reese’s” on the package.

A ‘literally’ annoying top 10

Some Oxford University researchers recently “put their heads together” and compiled a top 10 list of irritating and overused phrases, some grammatically incorrect and others just plain annoying.

The list appears in a new book called “Damp Squid: The English Language Laid Bare.”

Here they are from the home office in Oxford, England.

1 – At the end of the day
2 – Fairly unique
3 – I personally
4 – At this moment in time
5 – With all due respect
6 – Absolutely
7 – It’s a nightmare
8 – Shouldn’t of
9 – 24/7
10 – It’s not rocket science

This is only “scratching the surface” of course. “Irregardless,” they “literally” need to be “avoided at all cost.”
