No offense….
No offense….

A recent thread by Jerry (<a href="https://www.italki.com/discussion/157414">Honestly. The truth is.</a>) about the phrase “to tell the truth…” has got me thinking about other phrases that people would probably do best to avoid using outside their immediate circle. What goes through your mind when you read or hear “No offense…”? Honestly….

@Richard

Actually, as a language learner, I literally love those words (maybe except "like", because even for me a person using it sounds, like, retarded, no offence). Basically, they make your sentence more natural sounding, obviously making it easier for a learner to produce something that at least resembles English. Honestly, that's what I think.

I would use it when I know I'm going to sound harsh and I know that the other person might feel offended. Not necessarily because I want to offend them, but because I know that people tend to take offense and often don't see any difference between a general statement and a comment on themselves. So it basically means "I know you might not like it, but I don't care".

No offence, but none of you can spell.


Er, where is the smiley thing to add here? It's a joke, see. Don't take offenCe.

These filler words are probably used by 98% of us, often without even knowing we're doing it.

But are they necessary?
Do they add anything to the sentence?
Should we avoid using them?

Dictinary.com came up with a short list of words called "Six words that can ruin your sentence".

I think you'll agree.


Good posting Phil...
