how easy it is for phrases to cover the vast distance between one person and another. I hear everyone invited into a news show saying ‘thank you for having me’ when they mean ‘thank you for inviting me’. Thank you for having me is something a staying guest might say or as slang a lover. Getting one’s ducks in a row is an unfortunate overused phrase as if presenters cannot use much English. And everyone is encouraged to think out of the box when the box, as such, is the education they have received from the government.
They used to say absolutely a lot, and frenetic. I am at a loss to know why these words and phrases appear and vanish. The corridors of power should have a lot more imagination.
