MODERATORS
Calling someone a bot or a shill because they post something you disagree with. It's so stupid. Like even if the person is a bot, would that matter if the point they're making is salient and sourced?
"I don't need to engage with the fact Biden has deported more people than Trump, because you are actually russian. Thus I have no reason to investigate my worldview."????
It's also such a tell. Like the person can't imagine anyone thinking anything other than what they think, so they must not be real people with internal lives. Can't imagine independent thought, literal NPC behaviour.
Especially because it's always the most average of redditor-take-havers that say it.
The exception that proves the rule.
People use it in a way where counterexample proofs that the rule exist when it's supposed to mean that the rule also handles exceptional cases.
Starting every sentence with "So". "So" being the way to indicate the beginning of a sentence.

For me it's "I'm offended" or "this offends me". I get it, some topics might be triggering for some people but if you get offended because someone has a different opinion, that's your problem, not the rest of the world problem.
"Hence why"
Syntactically makes no sense. Just say "that's why," that's what you are trying to say.
Pronouncing realtor like "real-uhh-torrrrr"
SME (pronounced smee)
My company is flooded with SMEs who aren’t even good, let alone experts at anything
Whatever nonsense gen alpha started saying these days.
Nah that's rizzler shit on God sigma 10k
“Not me” doing something.
Just say you’re doing something, and accept that it may be a bit hypocritical or shameful that you’re doing it.
