there’s a pandemic of idiots doing the “I personally” thing. every fucking post and comment, some mouthbreather wants to sound distinguished and whatnot by inflating their wordcount with nothingness. what’s the fucking opposite of this, “I unpersonally”, what?

“I personally like to…” what the fuck! just say “I like to”, it’s the same sentence, nothing changed, you didn’t add any nuance to your stupid fucking take.

edit: awesome reading comprehension up in here. it’s not a crusade against the word, it’s a rant against morons using it wrong. as in “I personally like to…” - nothing is added here by using the P-word! you liking shit is the most personal, subjective thing on the planet, you didn’t add anything, you just sound like little carmine.

edit 2: figured out a better title - “personally” is the new “literally”

    Be respectful to others, even if they’re the subject of your rant. Realize that you can be angry at someone without denigrating them.

    And yet you criticise other people’s reading comprehension? Also, I personally don’t think that people are using it as wrongly as you think they are. I personally do think it adds nuance to the sentence. I suppose that’s where we differ, in a personal sense.
