Why would you? Saying that suggests that at times you do lie to me.

[securespark]

So starting every sentence

yeah, that - starting every sentence with 'So...'

I hate when people every sentence start with "So...."
If I was a redneck and had a gun, I'd shoot the TV every time someone on it did that.

Adding unnecessary words for no reason - poss an Americanism. Eg. "for free" - well that's just free then. Same with "swapped out", "changed out" - when swapped or changed was always good enough. Fact!

Other stupid ones like "back story" - WTF is that all about. Same for "gifted, gifting"!!

Then other daft Americanisms. Now everyone is being "called out" or "calling out". Well I'm calling out that nonsensical trend.

People - furthest you've ever been is probably New Malden - you ain't living in downtown New York. Have a nice day!
