"Going forward"
This phrase, in the sense of "from now on," is one of the most annoying-sounding I have come across, and I hear it most often in business. Ever since getting into a more managerial position in my job, I've heard this phrase a lot more often in example sentences like:
"Going forward, don't do x thing."
"Going forward, I will be getting a bite to eat every minute."
etc etc
It's really quite irritating.
Really? I've never heard of it before. I would be annoyed too.
Like Guest, I'm not familiar with that expression.
<It's really quite irritating. >
Could you post a few real examples? I can't find it being used that way anywhere.
I agree. I hate the expression.
I say "henceforth" or "thenceforth" or "from now on".
Is this similar to "moving on?"
My first impression is that it is "moving on" except in a progressive manner.
Maybe, but I'm not sure what is meant by "progressive manner."
It means that things are getting better.
Oh:
"Moving on up! (Moving on up!) To the east side!"
Or, when made fun of on _That's My Bush!_:
"Moving on down! (Moving on down!) To the west side!"
Or something like that. LOL.
