This annoying little pet peeve of mine raised its ugly head a few times this week. That peeve is when people want to qualify or introduce what they are about to say with phrases like; " I know this is going to sound....." or " I hate to say....". Then usually they proceed right away and do the very thing they said in the preceding statement.
Another twist is, "I don't mean to..." and you know darn good and well that is what they meant to say.
I don't mean to sound peeved, Yes I do. Stop it before I get infected.
