> The notorious “you are absolutely right”, which no living human ever used before, at least not that I know of > The other notorious “let me know if you want to [do that thing] or [explore this other thing]” at the end of the sentence There's a new one, "wired" I have "wired" this into X or " "wires" into y. Cortex does this and I have noticed it more and more recently. It super sticks out because who the hell ever said that X part of the program wires into y? | |||||||||||||||||||||||

You are absolutely right is something some people in some variants of English say all the time. It may grate but to me, it grates less than "correct" which is a major sign of arrogant "I decide what is right or wrong" and when I hear it, outside of a context where somebody is the arbiter or teacher, I switch off. But you're absolutely wrong about youre absolutely right. It's a bit hokey, but it's not a machine made signifier. | |||||||||||||||||||||||
