Fazed by phrases!
Even as a writer of little standing (five foot, four inches in my stocking soles) I’ve found myself becoming increasingly ‘up myself’ and ‘precious’ when it comes to witnessing the application of our English language.
One thing I’ve learned from my blogging and writing books, is to be self critical. I know I’ll never be 100% correct in the manner by which I express myself, but I have discovered many words and phrases I was so very guilty of overusing.
Reading back on what nonsense I write, it’s easy to spot duplication / multiplication of words. I fully appreciate the vast majority of the world’s population would never feel the need to physically review their wording. and are therefore unaware of their verbal repetition / misquotes.
However, people in the public eye should know better. They have no excuse. Every day they are quoted in the press and magazines. They are interviewed on television, and create their own social media content.
Surely to goodness they can spot what have become bad habits?
Sports people, in particular football (soccer) players and television commentators in the UK are perhaps the worst. For example:
You’ll notice above, I mentioned I’ll never be 100% correct in my communication. Yeah, 100%. Not 110%. Or 200%.
Interviewer: “You were up against it in the second half, but the defense held fast.”
Player: “110% – we knew they’d come out all guns blazing, but we’d prepared for that during training this week.”
Me: “Aaaargh!”Another sports related phrase that’s become increasingly irksome in recent times, is the commentator’s description of something that almost didn’t happen. But did. I think. I find it difficult to understand what the heck they are meaning.
Commentator: “He just about managed to keep the ball in play …”
Me: “He did keep the chuffin’ ball in play! For crying out loud, man. There’s no ‘just about’ it at all. Fact. Give me strength!”
But here’s the doozy! This really, really rips my knitting! I hear it all the time these days … people asking and then answering their own questions!
TV / radio sports pundit: “Is he a great player? Yes. Has he scored twenty-five goals this season? Yes. Is he a fans’ favourite? Yes. But does he do enough work off the ball? No.”
Me: “I can’t take it anymore! Please! Make it stop! Where’s the mute button on this TV / radio remote …?”

"Es gibt in Deutschland zu wenige Stellen, an die sich ältere Menschen im Fall von #Altersdiskriminierung niedrigschwellig wenden können. Wir brauchen mehr Informationen, um gegen diese Form der Ausgrenzung gesetzlich vorzugehen."
Claudia Mahler, unsere Expertin für die Rechte Älterer, im #Radiointerview mit dem WDR.

Warum #Gleitzeit an Schulen eine gute Idee ist, habe ich gerade dem Bayrischen Rundfunk im #RadioInterview erklärt: https://www.br.de/radio/live/bayern3/programm/2024-04-10/3515948/#t=12:13:29
Für @riffreporter sprach ich über Hintergründe zum gleichen Thema ausführlich mit einer Expertin, die genau das wissenschaftlich erforscht: https://www.riffreporter.de/de/wissen/interview-winnebeck

#IT's not an #OriginalIdea; not by any means...
#ByHappyCoincidence, I was listening to a #RadioInterview in the #Week with one of #ThisYear's #BookerPrize #Nominees, who remarked that he'd used a #SimilarMethod / #Technique...
I used it for one of my #PostGradTheses back in #The90s...

#OTD in 1892 a #Presbyterian minister named #JamesNaismith published his rules for the game of "Basket Ball", which developed as an indoor recreational activity at the #Springfield #YMCA during long Massachusetts winters. Naismith was hired as a chaplain at The #UniversityofKansas soon after, and part of his duties included teaching phys ed which eventually evolved into being the obvious choice as the school's #basketball coach. Despite supposedly "inventing" the game in 1898, somehow during his tutelage, he became the only #CollegeBasketball #Coach with an overall losing team record in the entire history of the #KansasJayhawks. Here is a rare WOR #RadioInterview recording that was uncovered in the 21st century where Naismith describes inventing #theGame
