Famous Sayings

I personally

This usually means you are giving your personal opinion based on your own experience…so you say  “I personally…”

Reader’s Digest recently said this was one of the most irritating English phrases but I disagree.  Why would they say that?  Thoughts?

I think saying ‘I personally” allows us to say things which we feel strongly about without coming across as trying to proselytize others or influence them when we really are trying to do so.

Using “I personally” is a way for us to say something directly, indirectly!  I’m glad we have such a tool in the English language to do so.
