It seems like we just survived the hottest summer on record and we're already into cold weather. REALLY??
I hate it when people use REALLY? as a way of judgmental punctuation. It's becoming a pet peeve. Just say what you think with the judgment added.
So, when I say, "It seems like we just survived the hottest summer on record and we're already into cold weather." Instead of adding the annoying REALLY?? why not simply add, "It doesn't seem fair, does it?"
I know that the use of the annoying REALLY?? is most often in reference to a person's perceived bad behavior, or at least I think that's the purpose. To insult, really, someone else's behavior. OK. Why not in some cases, limit the insults. Or, again, use your words to express what it is that you object to about a person's behavior. Hmmmm. That might be asking too much of a lot of people, especially the kind of person who never really matured beyond high school levels.
Such as parents of high school kids who act more like THEY are the teenager. Something happens they don't like and they're all over Facebook with the REALLY?? I mean, WHO DOES THAT??
Next post: why I hate the over-used expression, "WHO DOES THAT??"
