Today, while reading Project Management materials, we noticed and noted several of our pet peeves:
“like” vs. “such as”
“comprised of” vs. “comprises”
“I could care less” vs. “I couldn’t care less”
“forecasted” vs. “forecast” (We may have to live with this one as it is widely accepted now in business.)
