Use of the phrase "as well"

I'm an "as well" junkie. I find nothing annoying about it.

There are many instances where there are multiple words or terms w/ the same meaning. If people get annoyed w/ "as well," they have way too much time in their day.

This was my point as well.

Why use two words when one will do?

I don't know....but every Russian novelist I've ever read seems to use about 384 words where one will do.

It's so true. Most people write like morons. Colleges are graduating the barely literate, sometimes with advanced degrees...most often MBAs.

Yep.

My high school counselor posted this on Facebook today:

"So, language lovers....what's up with "as well?" Don't we have "too" or "also" to use instead? "As well" is becoming a new language pet peeve - much like "myself." And, yes, I'm getting old..."


After reading this I realized I use "as well" a lot. Anyone else here find the term annoying?

But it sounded so sophisticated when I was in the "Also" camp!!
