    Why have people started to say "can I get..." as in "can I get a skinny mocha latte"?

    “How are you?” “I’m good thanks”. Why good. Shouldn’t it be fine or well. Irritates the life out of me. Along with “So....” of course.

    1: I’m not talking abou people with issues walking

    2: No. I’m sick of this nonsense. I don’t care. Everyone has their issues and if I accommodate each one I’ll never get anything done. If you can’t walk quickly; why not the the considerate one and move out of the way? Why is their issue, now my issue?!

    I don’t know, I guess I thought you might care about behaving like a decent human being.

    Well in your definition of decent, no.


    I see no difference in saying the decent thing is to not slow everyone else down.

    I don't often say 'bless you', but I nearly always say 'God bless' to people as a leaving remark. Why? Because I think it a good thing to say to someone who I will not be seeing for at least a little while. It's a good thing to wish blessing on someone, isn't it?

    Imagine someone holding forth on biology whose only knowledge of the subject is the Book of British Birds, and you have a rough idea of what it feels like to read Richard Dawkins on theology: Terry Eagleton

    For a person of faith, definitely - as a mindless cliche, not so much.:)

    I say "Gord bless you". So you may be a weirdo as well!


    Another odd saying for me is strangers who say farewell with "See you later". I've taken to replying "I hope not!" (with a smile)

    People that incorrectly correct you.

    e.g. my ex used to correct me
    Me: "I would've got there quicker..."
    Ex: "It's would HAVE not would OF"
    Me: :mad:
