People are always saying "let's meet up". Why the "up"? "Let's meet" is just fine.
And then there's "I'll be with you shortly; I'm just going to park up". Park up where? What's wrong with "I'm going to park"?
Both irritate me ... but then again, as I get older, a lot of things irritate me!!
I thought NSC would like me to share this with you.
Anyone else have other irritating figures of speech which they'd like to share?
If you don't like phrasal verbs maybe English isn't the language for you- there are about 10,000 of them!
