The most annoying writing convention in the world is, well, well.

I just want to go on record as saying how much I hate that interjection. I always trip over it when reading, like it shouldn't be there, then I get annoyed and scroll up to see who wrote whatever I'm reading so that I can mutter to myself "Story author Joe Blow is, well, a lazy, uncreative, terrible writer." Please join my crusade against well. Thank you. </rant>

 

I'd like to join your crusade but, well, I've used it before.

 

My guess would have been this:

Tumblrponn and You: A How-To Guide on Running A My Little Pony Ask Blog
×
1:00pm - 2:00pm @Hall of the Moon

A world of creativity, imagination, and insanity awaits you in the world of Tumblrpon, or My Little Pony askblogs. Some of the most well-known moderators and community members in the fandom will teach you what Tumblr is, how to start an ask blog, and how to have fun with it! All ages are welcome.

 

Needless to say,
that goes without saying.

But I digress.

 

I've used that convention myself, and I suppose it has been overused as a means of conveying a conversational style. Still, it doesn't irk me as much as the lazy headline trope that you see on the likes of Deadspin all the time, where they ask a rhetorical question about something ostensibly amazing and then follow it with the simple declarative, e.g., "A-Rod kissing himself in the mirror? A-Rod kissing himself in the mirror."

 

Well, I don't mind it as much as the ever-increasing usage of "also, too." I swear I see that all the time now. Or the sentence that starts with "Also" and ends with "as well." They're the same damn thing. Use one or the other.

 

For my part, I'm fine with it.

 

I must admit I've gone to the well one time too many.

 

They call it a "conference" but it's pretty much just a convention.

Also, they're the exact same thing, too.

 

At the end of the day, they're all pretty bad.

 

One of America's finest writers.
