I am a big fan of the word definitely. I use it way too much I think.

I also (and the name fairy here noticed too, lol) type a lot of sentences without spaces and with periods after.every.single.word.

Yes, I do it too much.

but.i.love.the.emphasis.it.has.

:giggle

I think Awesome might be my most overused word...everything to me is awesome.

I also when writing use way to many parentheses, It's very apparent in my journaling but I just can't help it. I think there are times that i even start to put parentheses inside parentheses...like it's a complicated math problem or something..lol.

And what drives DH batty when I'm talking...I end too many sentences with so.

That is sooo me! I use that word all the time!!!!!
 
I also use amazing a lot. It seems like a switch what I overuse every once in a while. I do the period thing too, but not a ton - I wouldn't say overuse. At home, I use the word "hip" a lot. Like, my daughter will show me an outfit she picked, and I'll say "hip." Or anything I think is cool I guess, lol. Gosh I'm such a dork now that I"m old, hahahaha
 
Seriously.

Seriously. (usually said deadpan with no emotion.) and Seriously? (said in question.)

As in - "Seriously? You just hit your sister after tattling to me that she hit you? Seriously." See - when speaking both "seriously-s" have different emphasis.
 
^^^^^^ This.

And "crazy" but that is because sometimes I don't know what else to say.

And I know, in the forums, I overuse the ... but it gives that pause that you use while talking. :)

YES!!!! This too!
 
I say seriously a lot as well...

and Wow...usually long and drawn out when I don't quite believe something I've heard or somebody says something that surprises me.
 
I write 'etc.' all the time in my posts. Drives me crazy, but I don't know how to stop. I guess I really like giving examples of things. :giggle
 
Just. Just this, just that. I always just stick it in there where it doesn't need to be.

I say wow too. Usually when one of the kids does something they KNOW they shouldn't.

etc. lol!!! I do this too, usually in handwritten letters and emails!
 
Awesome...because, well, it's an awesome word and so many things ARE awesome. :giggle

Alas, I date myself.
 
I overuse "awesome" too. Am I dating myself too? My kids use it... but maybe they got it from me. :giggle I'm sure there are other words that I'm just not aware of. Does "because I said so" count? LOL

Oh, and apparently I also use "LOL" way too much too. It's really hard for me to write emails to my non-web-friend people and not use it, but I try not to go full dork with people like, oh, say, my kids' teachers. :p

And this guy --> :giggle I love that adorable giggle. He's is so many of my posts!
 
seriously and totally--both are seriously and totally overused in my life :)
