Don Y posted for all of us...



So, what is it with media personalities (TV/radio) nowadays?
Ditto with folks (often journalists!) being interviewed by same!
It seems like they INVARIABLY start their replies to any
inquiries with "so, ..."

So, this seems pretty unprofessional; as if they'd never had
any formal writing/speaking training. You hear it LESS often
when Joe-on-the-street is interviewed... more when someone
who SHOULD know how to construct a better reply is questioned.

So, is that, perhaps, how they are being taught, nowadays?
Or, like all pilots trying to emulate Yeager's casual form
of "incredible understatement", just a bad habit they've picked
up from some colleague?

So, listen more carefully and see how often you hear it
"on the street" vs. "from professional journalists"...

So. dude, everything is AMAZING! My job is AMAZING, my skills are AMAZING!

Actually, it's not. It's actually rather mundane. It happens almost
every day, actually.

The reason is because we're young. Not that we're young but because
we are actually young, actually.

So, what is is your amazing problem? Do you have micro-aggression from the
blowback? So, the optics don't look good on your amazing analysis. So, when
are going to join those amazing marches for gun control, BLM, celebrity
opinions, etc. So, who is your candidate right, wrong, left, right? So,
what's wrong with ISIS?
