I am constantly depressed by the inability of so many people to just speak their own native language fluently. It goes beyond you know, and like, and I think, but those are very annoying habits. I don’t feel that I have high standards, but I like it when people can have words come out of their mouths in proper sentences. Alas, this is a skill which is beyond many mere mortals.
Very depressing. Imagine if Lincoln, like, wrote the Gettysburg address today.
Words come out of their mouths in proper sentences and not in that annoying sing-song flow.
Uh, uh, ya know…. Agree amazing to listen to people and I guess every thing they say are similes or metaphors
Like I went to get a coffee and the guy uh, like said do you want cream and I like said ya know like yes but only if it is like oat ya know milk…
One that bothers me is when people are talking or giving an interview and they say “look….”, shouldn’t they say listen, if they say anything at
All.
Another one that I struggle with is beginning something with “to be honest”
So am I lying if I don’t say that first?lol
Now I try to say “ to be clear” or better yet neither
Since I am in a rant one more. Adding OK after something esp with parents
Clean your room, okay(?). Finish your homework okay…
Actually said something to my son about that,
Amd suggested if he is going to add anything , which is unnecessary, add UNDERSTAND!
Clean your room! Finish your homework!, when you add okay it is like you are giving a suggestion not a demand
My 2 cents
