So, what manner of death are we talking 'bout here?

There has to be a dark-web site to help with this epidemic.

Or constantly using the word "clearly" in news interviews. I remember when this started..with some two-bit sheriff in a small town in the 1980s where a sniper was shooting people on the interstate and at gas stations.

All the news TV cameras were focused on the overwhelmed sheriff and he began almost every paragraph with "clearly" and soon news people everywhere were using the term. I now hear it on BBC and other international news channels.. "Clearly, the gunman though that he would.."

that seems extreme.

There are worse things but that can be annoying. So why does it bother you? It isn’t so much the word itself but the repetitive use perhaps. So maybe instead of every second sentence it could be less repetitive. LOL.

You made a post to ask that

I really despise this. My professor friend does it and although he is a lovely man, it goes right through me. I am only just over the misuse of the word 'impact'. I was quoting a consultant psychiatrist in a paper I was writing and had to resist the urge to correct his English.

Starting every sentence with ( you know) should.

No.
