The phrase "on a daily basis" has replaced "every day" everywhere, regardless of how stupid it is in most of the cases. I can't remember when I last heard the latter, but I hear the former... on a daily basis.

Sounds like a statistician's crutch-expression gone wild. It has completely eradicated the other.
