Tennis players apologising when they win a point with the ball clipping the net

That's just the expected etiquette though, same as a snooker player fluking a pot. To not do it is seen as disrespectful to your opponent.

If they play 5 set matches then fair enough.

That's like saying football women should get equal money if they play 90 minutes.

'Literally' being shoehorned into every argument or statement. This morning I heard some young chaps having a chat about the middle east (very on trend) and a number of times I heard 'they are literally dropping bombs' or they are 'like literally killing kids'. 

It took over from the use of "basically". The words I overuse are "actually" and "apparently".
