I'd have to agree.
Not as bad as a rising inflection on the end of every sentence.
But definitely obnoxious...

It's not a basic grammar program, but can understand your peeve.
BTW, mine is the use of the improper objective case rather than
subjective case for the male/female pronouns "Him" for "He"
and "Her" for "She" and vice versa.
My grade school grammar teachers would roll over in their graves.

Just curious, how do you install a magnetic feather board so
that it performs the hold down function as the McGiver thing
above does?

Three of my current peeves are:
"try and" (instead of "try to")
and
"a myriad of" (instead of "myriad")
and
"have got" (instead of plain "have")
Or how about salespeople CONSTANTLY using your name in their spewage?
Once gets them closer to you; six times in seven sentences gives you
the screaming willies, and you can feel (and nearly SEE) the deceit
coming through as they try to hook you into their useless sales pitch.

Me too. It seems like a southern US thing.
"We're going to go ahead and..:". To me, that means we're going to skip
the next step while it has to cure, dry, get cooler, etc., and we'll
come back to that step that we went ahead on.
It's like "...get ahold of..". It's either "get hold of", or .."get a
hold on..."

I believe it is part of much of the older US dialect, Much like the (I
believe) obsolete term "I am a fixin to"
I have heard my grandparents and my parents in northern Indiana say many
times "go ahead and" do something.
I have always interpreted it as yes we are not currently finished with
what we are doing but we are going to start something new. The
something that is not finished, may not be well defined.
The US dialect is strongly influenced but the construction of other
language, such as German. In in some areas I find it is nearly as common
too put the verb at the end of the sentence as done in German, as its
position in English.
You should enjoy the peculiarities our US Dialect of the English
language, and use them to understand the United States rather than
cursing them.

I ordered one of the newer "Nature" DVDs through Netflix recently and
had to send it back unwatched. I've been away from TV for 6 years now
and the new narrator (RIP George Page!) is one of those people who has
to have a ton of emphasis on every single word that comes out of his
mouth, like a bad commercial. It's just horrible and ruined the
experience, along with the stupidly loud and inappropriate music in
the _foreground_. I guess they're trying to force it through teen
minds now or something. <sigh>
