@Alice I had to tell my students to stop writing "In the future, I will..."
Everything you are going to do is in the future. I will implies that.
It's just a filler phrase for thesis writers.
At the very least, abbreviate that nonsense with tstl.
@Alice Also when people actually tell you in words from their mouths that they are speechless - clearly not.
@Alice @amiserabilist can you switch the ccp alice to hotdog alice?
This throwback just popped up on my BkueSky bot, but I would like to note that it's a thing that still annoys me.
I constantly see posts where everyone ends their statement with "to say the least" and, aside from being completely unnecessary, it seems to be coming from people who abbreviate everything else.
Ngl ikr to say the least.
