Strange Sayings, Redundancies, and Other Oddities
People do say peculiar things from time to time. Here are some things I have noticed.
"I have a small little problem..."
"Asking God to lead, guide and direct..." Isn't that the same thing?
"The reason is because..." Do we really need the because?
"That's a whole 'nother thing..." How about another?
Ending any sentence with the word "so" is now a common practice. I am going to the store and will be back in an hour... soooo.. What is that?!
Starting sentences with "anyways..."
It's not I could care less... it is I couldn't care less. This is one my friend, Dave Pacheco, always reminded me of.
I could of went to the beach instead of staying home. Instead of could have.

It is not 'could of,' it is 'could've' a contraction of could have.
