I've gotten in the habit of having closed captioning on the tv a lot now since a noisy little grandson lives with us. It's absolutely amazing how much "ummm" is in every television character's dialogue. Almost as if it's dictated in a writing standards manual somewhere. Never noticed it until I started reading it in every other sentence on everything I watch.

Dammit, make it faster!!
No matter what design you come up with they'll still come back with "that's not what I had in mind at all"

I "designed" a business card for someone the other day who "didn't really care" what it looked like. Needless to say, it looked completely different once it was all said and done.

Ever notice how every conversation starts with the person's name? Drives me insane. If there's only the two of you anywhere near and you already know each other why would you start by saying their name? And every time a person gets out of a car they leave the headlights on and the door open. These are not natural occurrences people!

Or when they walk into their house?! Who leaves their front door open while they put stuff away?

Lol, with new people I will try to use their name in a sentence a few times so I can try to remember it better for next time. Not sure about the car doors and all

Why is it that specimens such as yourself either allude to or outright name Trump as some sort of doofus totally out of the blue? When his predecessor was in office no one ever commented on the fusillade of 'um's, 'er's, 'ah's, etc. [not to mention 'corpse-man'] that issued forth whenever a teleprompter wasn't readily to hand as compared to the regularity of either the oblique or full frontal Trump bashing current in there waters. Why is that?

Which guy at the top?
Steve Bannon
Jared Kushner
Big Business Lobbyists
Israel
Stormy Daniels
Russians

Media conspiracies have it changing weekly (if not daily) so you have to be more specific.

Because, like him or not, Obama could at least string together coherent sentences without a teleprompter? He was very presidential, eloquent, and intelligent. I didn't necessarily like everything he said or did, but at least I wasn't embarrassed every time he opened his mouth or tweeted.

Trump is a buffoon. He's an embarrassment to this country. We're the laughing stock of the rest of the world (minus a few fascists and dictators who love the guy). I hear he's super popular with certain crowds though. You know the ones.
