Incorrect.
The word ‘so’ is same as ‘because’ or it follows.
I wrote this comment,

that I could correct the author’s fallcy.
#9&10 indicate cognitive dissonance.

Your response to this thread is value-added.
Good point for a specific application, yet even in that case “so that I could” can be replaced succinctly by “to”.
Similarly, the use of “Right?” after virtually every statement. I’ve noticed this more and more in training seminars and among the talking heads on tv. I would pay to have someone just answer ‘No’ or ‘Well actually..’ each time.
It goes without saying that using the word 'looser' is not an elongated form of the word loser. A looser is somebody who loosens, like their belt.
That just goes without saying.
Bring back the RED MEAT!
“Reached out to” instead of “contacted” really annoys me.
Jenjiss Cohn, you mean?
Fake news is misleading and should be called propaganda.
The use of “disrespect” as a verb, and even worse, shortening it to “dis” as in “He dissed me.” 40 years ago, this usage was criminal or jailhouse cant. I watched with horror and disbelief as it slowly crept into general use.
See my tag line. That’s another pet peeve.
All I know is that back in the day we never said BACK IN THE DAY!!!
Let’s “have a conversation” about overuse of “bombshell.” Is also like to tell about
My efforts’ to stamp out abuse of apostrophes’ for pluralization.
11. Spelling “all right” as “alright”. The latter is not a word. (However, “alright” is misused so often that it is starting to become one.)
12. Spelling “a lot” as “alot”.
13. Swapping “there” for “their”.
14. Swapping “its” for “it’s”.
Oh, right. I cringe when people, primarily libs (are you listening, Jessica Tarlov?) say we need to “have a conversation” about something. That usually comes when they’re losing an argument.
Yep, that “at the end of the day” is very annoying.
Someone I used to work with would frequently use all of these (which were all annoying):
It is what it is.
Belts and suspenders (to indicate something being over-done)
Sister-kisser (to indicate something was meaningless)
He had several others, which I am sort of pleasantly surprised to find that I can no longer remember.
