Re: Things that are unnecessary

"I'm sorry"
When used as an apology, this is fine. Otherwise, it is completely unnecessary. For example: "I'm sorry you've got a cold." The person most likely has nothing to do with the disease, and is not responsible - how could someone be sorry for something she didn't do?

"I hate to say it, but..."
If you hate to say it, then DON'T SAY IT. Usually, this prefaces something the speaker loves to say.

"Tasty"
Describing something as "tasty" is a complete nondescription. It has a taste. SO DOES EVERYTHING ELSE! It's not even describing that taste - is it a pleasureable taste, or a repulsive taste?
