I keep hearing/seeing reporters, commentators, podcasts, even the club media team etc. asking managers and players, "How important is/was..." about things that are quite obviously important. This seems to be a weird modern trend and does my nut in. Anyone else notice it?
Maybe I'm taking it too literally but it's gone from marginal things to every blooming thing.
The other thing I've noticed, more from young people, is the regular opening of sentences with, "I'm not gonna lie..." Another oddity. I wasn't expecting you to lie! Just a quirk of developing language I guess, but it seems strange to me, I'm not gonna lie.
