It's analogous to how politicians nowadays are constantly saying "let me be clear", it drives me nuts.


Another annoyance: "In my honest opinion...". Does that mean that you other times are sharing dishonest opinions? Why would you need to declare that this time you're honest?


This has been a pet peeve of mine for years. I call people out when they say this for the abuse of language and for being a time vampire.
