Among the both overused and misused, like the opening
"congratulations" that Howard decries, is the Munchkin
Welcome, as in "Welcome to the Doodah Day Online
Appointment Planner." When you buy a pneumatic jack,
the instructions don't say "Welcome to the Acme Pneumatic
Jack." Well, a software product too is something to be
handled, not inhabited.
