Funny things in class
Feb. 6th, 2012 07:19 pmWhilst listening to the discussion about what happens in a partnership when a partner dies, I found a new pet peeve:
"When someone dies" is not the same as "when someone passes on".
And what is even more annoying: "when someone passes"
I don't mind so much "passes away" but wtf is "passes on"? Passes on what? She passed on the baton to her teammate?
***
Classmates whom I guess are trying to cover their asses while expressing opinions use a surfeit of expressions such as "it seems to me", "it seems", etc. I feel like I could create a drinking game out it this.
