Semantics

It's all a play of words. You say something when you mean another. It's not like a dialect accent where etlog would mean the same as itlog... aw, you get what I am saying.
  • There is no such thing as constructive crticism. A criticism is a criticism is a criticism. You may truly mean well, but still, you are pointing out something bad about a person. It IS a criticism. Don't hide behind that "constructive criticism" crap.
  • "Nothing against you" is truly a bad way to start a sentence. You know that the whole litany following this will be all about being against you.
  • "Puttting in my two cents worth" is a segue to a long marathon of self-righteousness and sometimes a desperate attempt to fish for compliments.
  • "Here's some unsolicited advice". Now, this takes the cake. If nobody is asking, please do not give away your opinions about somebody else's life. The fact that it is unsolicited means it is not needed.
  • And there's that thing that some do when they want to know something, but dont want to appear obvious that they want to know. Like trying to be nonchalant when the eyes are all goggly and the voice is so high pitched?

It's tiring and stressful tyring to keep up and reading between the lines. I would rather go head on with sarcasm than with goodie-two-shoes hiding a knife.
