"...we reached out to xyz for comment.."
I want to find the author and punch them in the face whenever I read that.
One of my colleagues hates the word 'moist'. What makes you shudder when someone says it?

What does it even mean?
The Americanism where 'even' has to inserted for emphasis. "What does it mean?" would suffice. What does it even mean?
Sorry, another pet hate; n'owt personal.
Oh and "..Do we have...?" "Yes we do"
Instead of the traditional "Have we got?" "Yes we have" Grrrr
