Re: Supposably.  Many people here in the UK say it, too.  One which seems to be unique to here is "disorientated".  That makes me pop a vein.

Re: Noise without meaning.  Favourites over here seem to be "obviously" and "at the end of the day".  A lot of people misuse "literally", too.  They make me want to get my gat.

Oh yeah, "alot" is another one which gives me the heebie jeebies.  I see that here quite a lot, along with "nevermind".

While I'm on the subject, there seem to be many useless, badly thought out or plain stupid phrases kicking around, such as "round circle" (as opposed to a triangular one?), "reverse back" (didn't know you could reverse in any other direction) and PIN Number (Personal Identification Number Number).  We also had a bank over here called TSB Bank (Trustee Savings Bank Bank).

And finally...

Why can't anyone pronounce "kilometre/kilometer" correctly?  It's not a device for measuring kils, it's a unit of distance, ie, kilo and meter.  Christ on toast!
