"Admittedly" and other overused ILX expressions

Is the word "admittedly" used all the time by everyone on ILX because everyone's covering their ass or because everyone is so smart and self-aware?

I admit it. "Admittedly" makes me sick.

This thread could have been called "use other words please," but that is another ILX phrase that is overused.

Please list other overused and annoying phrases.

In Botswana they carefully refrain from such.

I've never used the offending word! Yay!

It's not a word I'd use, not fancy enough.
