Is it me or does it sound really condescending when someone starts a email/post/etc like this:
"Er, you might think that this is so..."
or,
"Uh, not in my book".
or
"Actually, what I'm about to say is actually the truth"
These first keywords (Er, Umm..., Actually) are all usually indicators of thinly veiled attitude. Like you might say, "Um, an ignorant slut like you might think that's the case, but in my great widsom, this is actually true."
pet peeves 101
