STOP IT!!!!

I personally have noticed an increase lately in the idiotic, ridiculous, moronic and tautological "I personally" phrase to start statements on this site. It is reaching epidepic proportions.

Not as bad as "he's" "instead" of "his", "then" instead of "than" or "suppose" instead of "supposed", but it's getting up there.

I personally think that you personally will find that if you personally just say "I" instead of "I personally" it will be well understood that you personally mean yourself and noone else.

Another words, you don't like people being redundant redundant?

I, personally (as opposed to the "I" sitting across the room from me), would have to agree with you.  Although, this kind of stuff doesn't bother me that much here, more so in emails and memos at work.

Wait until it gets to epidermic proportions ... then we'll need some aloe vera.

I personally don't think that I ever ever use that phrase, nor do I remember seeing it all that much. That said, now that you've pointed it out it's going to start popping up everywhere. :-(

Why don't you go and swallow two, consecutively, one after the other.

Here's a lovely example from yesterday:

I love my Cobra equipment, but I did personally pick up a Tour Edge TSG

Obviously that's so you don't misunderstand and think he had his butler pick it up for him.

I personally, think Shorty is a grumpy old fart.

There.

I just adjusted the space-time continuum so you have your 30 seconds back. Only problem is you now live in a parallel universe and work as a WalMart greeter and your face and butt have been swapped.

Tell us the whole story. There must be a downside.

      I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.

      Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.

      Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
