I'll let him off as it's a slightly different use of the word.
"Just saying..." however - borderline!

My latest moan is "I guess" - I'm hearing it an awful lot these days. What's wrong with "I suppose"?

OMG yes - my knuckles twitch everytime I hear this !
But any Blue Sky Thinking, Lets Touch Base, Duck Eggs in a Row, is enough to make a grown man strike his gran - and anyone that starts a reply with 'So...' should be relieved of their teeth !

Another view of this is words I disliked that I now like. “OK” works in multiple languages, including Thai and gets me past many problems.
I looked up the Etymology:
originated as an abbreviation of orl korrekt , a jokey misspelling of 'all correct' which was current in the US in the 1830s. The oldest written references result from its use as a slogan by the Democratic party during the American Presidential election of 1840.

Wow. I've just double checked that (no offence!), as I always assumed OK was simply an abbreviation of okay. Not so, as explained above.DDD wrote: ↑Thu May 18, 2023 9:34 am Another view of this is words I disliked that I now like. “OK” works in multiple languages, including Thai and gets me past many problems.

Don't you just hate it when you've known something all your life as being 100% correct only for someone to show you've got it wrong!

"The proof is in the pudding"
No it chuffin' isn't!! I hear this so often and it always makes me fume! It makes no sense at all. What proof are we talking about? That would be the proof OF the pudding, which is in the eating... <deep breath> rant over, relief all round.

It used to be "The proof of the pudding is in the eating!"
That makes more sense.
