  • On a slightly related note, cos it's the Murcans that started it; the use of the superfluous "of"
    I know it's not that big of a deal but it is to me..

  • Likewise the insertion of a ‘he’ (for example) and pauses or breaks in the spoken sentence;
    “Yesterday…this bloke…. he crashed his bike”
    When it should be
    “Yesterday a bloke crashed his bike”
    Not sure why people do this. Perhaps it’s for dramatic effect and in each pause they are expecting me to look increasingly amazed and/or enthralled.
