Ok so by no means am I "Mr. Grammer"
But my pet peeve is when:
A. Someone refers to their boss as their "Superior"
B. One of my employees refers to me as their "Superior"
C. When my Supervisor refers to himself as my "Superior"
I hear this countless times, and see it in many many many posts here on CS. Personally, I feel nobody is my Superior. Even if they are my boss, regional staff, etc etc.
Unless you are in the military where you refer to those with a higher rank than you as a Superior Officer, your boss should be referred to as a Supervisor, IMHO. To me, calling someone my Superior is detrimental to my already-shaky-enough self confidence.
Maybe I am alone in this train of thought, I don't know. It is used so much that I am wondering if I am the one who is wrong?
