There is an epidemic of people who start every sentence with "I mean, …" and it needs to be addressed, amirite?

I mean... You're probably right

Are you sayingvit needs to be addressed because you don't like it, or is there some other reason you think it needs to be addressed? Do you think it's harmful rather than just annoying? If so, why?

I mean, so what? There were plenty of other linguistical trends I hated ("on fleek", for example) that I disliked, but I also have better things to worry about.

"on fleek" is just AAVE, not really comparable

Throw "it is what it is" in there and you basically just repeated every single convo my teenage guy friends had in high school in one sentence

Nearly as bad as: 'So...'

by okongavin 3 weeks ago

Even worse when 'so' is preceded with 'OK,'.

I sometimes talk to myself when deciding how I'm going to do something and I'll frequently start with "K, so...Mmmm queso." I never really noticed until a family member told me.

I'm old so whenever I hear "Ok, so…" my brain immediately finishes the sentence with "HERE is the Earth. rOÜnd…" etc etc

or it's just the nature of language. colloquial or not.

I agree that it is the nature of language for buzzwords to come and go, but it doesn't make them any less obnoxious.

I find ‘Well' to be kinda annoying. Sounds pretentious almost like ‘Um, Actually'

And the ones who use lol for punctuation every sentence lol

I'll join you on your pledge to eliminate it from my language.

I'm glad to hear it. Best of luck

by Easy-Jacket1045 3 weeks ago

Yeah those are my two biggest "problems" (some don't think it matters, so it's ultimately just my personal opinion) as well. I think I've gotten pretty close to eradicating "I mean", but "like" is a bit more difficult. Baby steps.

by Easy-Jacket1045 3 weeks ago

Would you prefer we went back to "like"? "Like it's not that I don't like egg plant, like it's that it's not my favorite." Like…I mean…it's just a verbal filler. It's not that bad to me

It's just the current way people use the language. It will pass. It's been worse. There are a lot worse trends currently aswell like how people think it's an acceptable way of communication to talk to complete strangers in a condescending tone unprovoked.

I mean is it any worse than someone constantly ending sentences with "you know what I'm sayin'?"

I mean, it's a useful intro.
