Can we not say "now" instead of "at this point in time", can we remember the time that grapes and bananas came in bunches not people [a journalist in my local paper actually spoke of someone losing "a bunch of fat"], and instead of 24/7, what about "all the time". Are you as fed up with these catchphrases as I am. Don't they impoverish the English language? Especially to writers, I want to scream, "Use a thesaurus".
