Exactly nearly… argghh!

30Apr08

In his post on the history of the safety pin, Seth uses my pet peeve phrase, “exactly nearly”.

You either are “exactly” 212lb OR “nearly” 200lb

Exact & nearly are extremely opposite ideas. Now Seth may have done this on purpose to catch peoples attention or just generate confusion. I am not privilged to the inner workings of his mind, nor should I be.

Lets all be exact in our wording, because it is nearly my highest rated pet peeve to combine the two words.
