Anyone else notice the overuse of "would have" in the workplace?
"I
would have met with the stakeholders yesterday to discuss the project requirements."
When they really mean:
"I
met with the stakeholders yesterday to discuss the project requirements."
It drives me crazy. It makes them sound like a kid trying to "fluff" up their vocabulary. Our director does it, and now EVERYONE in our office is doing it.
BTW:
Sweet!
