Do you use any of these?
The only one I consciously use is 'so' at the beginning of sentences.
1. Going forward
2. No disrespect, but…
3. 'like' as a filler
4. I wanted to reach out
5. I'm not gonna lie
6. Basically
7. Let's go offline
8. 'So' at the start of a sentence
9. The 'optics' of something
10. My bad
Yeah she's all heart :D
Debbie is nice like that. :)
I used to say umm and err, and sometimes I still do but nowadays I also do an alternative when my brain is loading the next part of the sentence and do what I call a sneak preview of what me gone non-verbal looks like. XD It's like non-verbal but sample size.
Nice that you let them go and choose again XD
um, no.
Sounds like my Grandad
Does anyone say 'umm' a lot?
I think it's a natural thing for me where my brain freezes and can't figure out what to say.
95% of my convos are just umms XD
This reminds me of an essay I was writing the other day and I went back and read through it and I was shook just how many filler words were unecessarily in there just because I was typing "like I speak" so there's a lot of words that verbally get put in there to seem more polite when it has to be said to a persons face, but are essentially useless and add nothing to the actual points when in a text form.(And it's habit now, heck I even did it with this reply. I could have put a fullstop after Polite and called it done, but for reasons I am not privy to my brain didn't lol.)
literallyfrom the get go .... i need a shower just typing it...
I may sometimes say basically but No 2 and no 5 irritate me.
No 8 puts my dad mad. I’ve pointed out it’s no less silly a discourse marker than ‘well..’ but he won’t have a bar of it.
No disrespect, butβ¦
If I do have to choose from the list though it's this one that needs to go.For this reason https://getyarn.io/yarn-clip/4879c16b-be04-45ef-8d2f-aca8f0fcbbdf LOL
"However/despite/inspite of" doesn't quite have the same meaning or ring to it even if it does often get used as a synonym for "but".
I don't think I speak enough to use most of these words XD
I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing?
I think the one I use most and I would hate to see axed is 'my bad' from the result of clumsiness which is a tune most of us can dance to I think
You are forgiven.
I can't imagine not being 'literal'
I hope you noticed that I included your 2 sinful words in my sentences.
Oh gosh that looks very literal I'm sorry I meant to say "of these sorts of things", not "of these" the actual list. Sorry!
π Bees π (they/them) Autism resources in bio #stoptheshock #NothingAboutUsWithoutUs said:Ergo" and "therefore" whenever I have to write a professional email are probably my top "sins" of these lol.
These aren't on the list above therefore you aren't allowed to include them!
Ergo, you will have to go back and choose again.
"Ergo" and "therefore" whenever I have to write a professional email are probably my top "sins" of these lol.
I say basically and honestly a lot.
