"at this moment in time" No need for the "in time" bit. What else is it gonna be? "..in space?"

On a similar note...
That it's just standard that we all say "double-you, double-you, double-you, dot..."
When saying "world wide web" takes literally half the effort.

Such as, "How are you today?" answer, "I'm good" - WRONG!!!!!! - I didn't enquire as to your skill levels, I asked you how you were feeling, you utter twat! The English language, thousands of years in evolution - destroyed in less than a generation by bland, moronic shite from over the pond.

Also wealthy women who havnt made their own wealth. Wives, daughters etc. Always look. Miserable as well. What is it with people with endless amounts of cash that make them moody bastards. Due largely to her 4% payout from hubby Jeff, Mackenzie Bezos is now the 3rd richest woman in the world and 22nd richest person with an estimated 36 billion dollars.

And the amount of times I hear teenagers say the word “ literally “
It seems like this word has to be included in every sentence.

‘Right now’ seems to be the new one that all the sheep are saying right now I think that will become even more common "going forward." "Can I get....?" If only. Customer "Can I get a latte?" Server. "No you eejit, I'll get it for you. That's how it works in a café"

Agree with all this. Also, when did "particuly" become a word? Thought it was "particularly?" About the same time as pacificly! And just after “supposably” 😬

Controversial one?
Lewis Hamilton.
Great F1 driver and I am 100% behind the BLM movement.
But a chain and lock round his neck? OK Lewis, old bean, you’re a slave to a global sport with global sponsors that is paying you enough to fund a small African country for a decade.
Just keep driving to your obvious ability and keep driving the movement but don’t be a martyr.
