"I feel" when talking about factual situations, for example, "I feel global warming is going to lead to chaos". I don't care what your emotions tell you, I want to know what you're thinking.
The example you gave quite fair but not much worth discussing has been absolutely factually determinated.
How you feel about something is an emotion that can lead you to your opinion on it, isn't it?
Haven't read the whole thread so apologies if someone else has said it, but in football when someone talks about "Your Lampards, your Gerrards, your Rooneys..." etc
There's one of each. Just say "Players like Lampard, Gerrard and Rooney...."
That is brilliant. It's a pet hate of mine too. It's not so bad if someone just pluralises one player, it's when they do so making a long list of players that really bugs me.

I think the last part of that sketch is based on a Jim Mclean interview...
Do I like it when people say 'it is what it is'? No. Do I like it when people say, ' As you do'? No. Do I like it when people ask themselves questions? Aaaaaaaaargh!!!!!!
"The same people that do/like/support 'x' are the same people that do/like/support 'y'".
Yet another nonsensical and without merit statement that is usually exerted to attempt to gain control of an argument or dialogue. Usually to make the claimant feel better about the situation.
95 per cent of footballers when interviewed now say at some point 'as I said' when they hadn't previously said it anyway.
Occasionally they say 'as I say' when they hadn't previously said it in the interview, so are we supposed to conclude then that they often say it off camera?
Any time somebody says "In many ways..." I want you to demand that they name three or more ways. I bet they can only name two. Which, of course, does not qualify as 'many'.
The continual overuse of the word 'iconic', which used to be rightfully reserved for the likes of Freddie Mercury and David Bowie etc, but now seems to be used for a Wayne Rooney goal away to Derby fifteen years ago, or some reality star that has fallen on hard times.

Is 'I feel' much different to 'it seems to me?'
Can I get? instead of Can I have?

Classic horseshittery in full effect.
FFS Ringo, you imbecile
