[OwlHoot]

It is really irritating, and teenagers and the young are doing it now, even the posh ones.

Updation

I was stuck in a meeting today when some manager said they would give us "updation" when they knew more.

THERE IS NO SUCH WORD AS ******* UPDATION FFS!!!!!! fed up of seeing it splattered all over technical docs and e-mails and ******* everything AARRGGHHH!

Updation

Never heard it. I think I'd spontaneously hurl if I did. Or laugh aloud - hopefully enabling everyone else in the room to realise that the person who said it is indeed a pompous stupid twat.

[TykeMerc]

Never heard of Updation, to be honest I hope I never do.

My list of hatred is pretty damn long I'm afraid.
