Black list of words and phrases that spoil the Russian language

"It is not that important," "I love you will type", "instead of" and other ugly words and combinations, from which the competent person should definitely refuse.

Russian speakers are divided into two categories: those who use strange and absurd expressions, and those who tend not to. Often people first category may even be a very smart and intelligent, and even more insulting to hear from them inappropriate language.

What kind of words I say? Of course, not to swear - they need to write a separate article. I'm talking about the words that are themselves literary, but may be connected in some wacky designs. They were in the black list.

1. Delicious (when it is not about food)

"Delicious prices", "tasty offer." Smells like a cheap marketing, is not it? In order not to look stupid, I recommend to avoid the use of this epithet to inedible objects.

2. From the word does

I sincerely do not understand the purpose of this expression. When I hear it from someone else, it seems that people want to attract additional attention to his remark, or something. Just look: "The house was not quite the word salt." How many more!

3. Well, this

What? No comments.

4. It does not matter

Not the expression, and the mutant. There is a set of unrelated words. It is much more correct to use "does not matter" or "not important."

5. I heard you)

Every time and in any context, this phrase is very boring. And it never involves any action or attention to what you say. Better to be replaced with "thank you, I understand everything (s)!"

6. It takes place

In short: either use "there is" or "has to be." Not a hybrid!

7. instead,

Disgusting sounding word. Reduced surrogate literary and neat "instead."

8. "For" to mean "about"

"To talk about the situation," "miss you." The Ukrainian language is considered the norm, but for some reason is a lexical phenomenon migrated to the Russian and violated all possible grammatical rules.

9. With Moscow (s Ryazan with Voronezh)

Let us remember that if we are talking about the origin of man and of where he came from, use the preposition "of". For example, "friend of Tver".

10. As they say

Ugly and useless lexical confusion with a touch of folk sayings. Forget urgently!

11. All the same, something

It is necessary to decide: either "do not care" or "do not care about anything." The combination of these phrases sound very ridiculous.

12. Basically

This expression can and should be lowered to 100% when it is used as an introduction.

13. really

Stupid and useless word that never adorn your speech. Replace with "really".

14. I will type you (the call)

Where to dial up? The team of illiterates? Do not. It is better to simply say: "I'll call you."

15. My Mom

Many say so, and it's annoying furiously. That's right - "my mother," "my friend" and so on.
