I sometimes use lists like this when teaching writing. Sometimes people feel that more words are better, but plain language is often easier to read. If you overuse qualifying words or adjectives, they tend to lose their meaning.

I really hate when people say basically and then what they were going to say. Thank you for this list, another thing I hate is the archaic English which my boss used when I was a teenager. He would put “bailiwick” into his sentences when no one else knew what it meant until they had looked it up afterwards.
I used afterwards as an example of an unnecessary word, please don’t correct it Janet it would just waste your valuable time.
