I could blog about my parking lot incident or my job hunting – both of which did not go well. Instead, I have a short rant. It is not really a rant, more of a complaint.
I am tired of, well, the, well, interjection of, well, the word “well” in, well, EVERYTHING.
Since I have taken up noticing the “(comma) well (comma)” phenomenon I see it everywhere. And it is driving me crazy.
I suspect I am the only one. But I thought I might mention it.
Out.

I think I’ve been guilty of that a few times. I’m not sure it’s a terrible thing to do as it is technically not wrong. It just get’s annoying when overused. Like many literary techniques it’s unnecessary.

Technically not wrong, no. But quite annoying as it is used by many an amateur article-writer and typically unneeded. It adds no gravitas to what is being said in most cases.
