In ordinary life, you rarely hear pure speech without filler words, obscene language and jargon. Yes, this is not always important. After all, otherwise communication would lack the emotionality that emojis and stickers often replace in correspondence. But there are statements that offend many people to the point of white fever. And you’ve definitely heard of them, maybe even used them. Let’s start!
Let’s analyze the incident – the word “case” is used so often, with or without its intended purpose, that it has become the most annoying.
