Literally

Objectively

These were the only two I came in to post. The misuse of "literally" and then the argument that the dictionary changed it or whatever to make it now meaningless is beyond moronic.

Objectively is just used wrong half the time.

Pretentious is another that CE tends to overuse and throws incorrectly into statements.

Quite so. It speaks volumes of a person when their mindset is 'well if enough of us do something wrong long enough it'll eventually become right!'
