re: What’s a word that people use that annoys you even though it’s technically valid?

There is a guy at my company that once had a conversation with me about a project we were working on and he isn't over me but kind of likes to think of himself as third in command at the office, but anyways, he was using just about every corporate buzz word I have come across and I was just flabbergasted that someone talked like that in real life. I've only ever seen them used in satirical videos haha.

I get annoyed at the words cbree and 88.

Good job showing everyone that you’re illiterate and can’t understand the question. I guess you’re a typical uneducated, jort-wearing Florida fan.

Orientate

Conversate

Orientate.

Orient. You orient people at an orientation.

When some says “kew-pons” (coupons) . I say “koo-pons” . I believe both phonetic pronunciations are correct, but I like mine better.

I also get annoyed by the word systematic. Systematic would be an annoying word of and in itself. And, to make it all the worse, whenever the word systematic is used, it's almost always followed by the word racism.

I believe the word you are referring to is "systemic" and not systematic.

A simple way to distinguish the two is: systematic focuses on how you do something (methodical and deliberate), while systemic describes something inherent to the whole structure (widespread and holistic).

Technically correct words that you find annoying.
That’s the question at hand.

There are none.

Why quibble though?

If I to pick one I’d go with anxious or anxiety.

Or pedantic.

Converse” and “conversing” are more proper and correct,

Conversate isn't a valid word. Therefore converse isn't "more proper". It's just the right word

Copacetic…
