    Every radio station has presenters using this term a lot, sometimes it's used three times in one sentence.
    Even at the Covid-19 press conference it can be heard used multiples times in a row like this.
    It's spreading like the virus.

    It's getting to us all believe me. I entered the wrong card no. code into my autobank 3 X this week and had my card blocked! I never did this before.

    Drives me bonkers too but it's not just used by the media. I sense it's a common middle class linguistic tic in Ireland, used because it sounds sophisticated.

    I am sick to death of the appalling audio quality on both radio and TV, particularly mobile phones.

    Turning up the volume does not help.
