“I hate it when people say “as well” instead of “too” or “also” or “and”.”
What’s wrong with as well?
It is a new arrival that was never used 25 years ago. The original context of its use was people trying to sound really smart since they were fresh out of college.
Another one that I just loathe is "having said that". I fricking know you just said that why say "having said that".
