Language Lingo

If you listen to news interviews, opinions, talking heads, count how many times you hear one of them say, HAVING SAID THAT.   So trendy, and meaningless and unnecessary.  

  Even more annoying than all media substituting AHEAD OF  for BEFORE.  Why use 2 words if 1 would do. 

     T'was the night ahead of Christmas.  Look ahead of you leap. Age ahead of beauty.   Two Years Ahead of the Mast

depends on how you are using the words
