Along with the misuse of “literally,” we have “definite” and “exact.” And, “think.”
I heard a woman on a sports talk show today. She was talking about a fan who had promised to eat poop if such and such happened. Evidently, it happened.
She asked, “Will he eat poop now?”
Then, she answered her own question: “I think, it’s definitely, a possibility.”
There’s also a lot of “I think so and so is exactly right.” When one says, “I think,” these days, isn’t it kind of a qualifying statement? In other words, “I’m not positive, but . . .”
Can you say, “I’m not sure, but I think so and so is exactly correct?”
Mind you, I don’t have a problem with, “I think so and so is right.”
