How many redundant phrases are there to begin a sentence in conversation?
- “The thing is …”
- “To be honest with you …”
- “To tell you the truth …”
- “Don’t get me wrong …”
- “At the end of the day …”
- “When all is said and done …”
- “When push comes to shove …”
- “In this day and age …”
- “Going forward …”
Please can we have a national agreement that nobody will use these phrases?
