Also used incorrectly most of the time. They meant to use “debatably”. Arguably: - used to say that a statement is very possibly true even if it is not certain (merriam-webster) - in a way that can be shown to be true (cambridge) ie. you can be prove it through argument, not “you can make the argument” | ||

Even worse, "I would argue that..." It's not hypothetical if you are here, in the current tense, arguing that. I've mostly cured myself of the habit, but its tough. | ||
