Members Dolf Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 Another that bugs me, and our esteemed President Obama uses frequently is starting a sentence with "Look,....". I always thought it slightly demeaning and condescending. Starting a statement with "look" is taught as a device to people in education and public speaking because we're accustomed to giving someone our attention when they say the word. It may seem condescending because you're so used to people saying it to children, but it is actually a VERY effective means of keeping people's attention.

Members OverDriven Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 Another that bugs me, and our esteemed President Obama uses frequently is starting a sentence with "Look,....". I always thought it slightly demeaning and condescending. Starting a sentence with "look" means "I know I have no argument for what I'm saying, but I'm still going to argue it. Trust me. I'm always right about things like this." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trust me. I'm always right about things like this."Starting a sentence with "look" frequently results from having to explain a very simple concept, for the eleventy-first time, to folks who A) shouldn't have to have it explained to them at all, and B) who *still* aren't getting it. Prolly why it sounds condescending... :poke: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members poolshark Posted December 16, 2010 Members Share Posted December 16, 2010 Certain parts of Florida law use 'premise' and 'premises' interchangeably when referring to a physical location. It's given me quite the nasty twitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
