In Reply to: I never HEAR anyone saying that term in.... posted by Mrs. Piggy on October 26, 2002 at 13:02:52:
more generalized qualifications than IMO, IMHO, and many others on
the lists on the Net. Never heard of most of them until I saw them
on the lists. In my collective experiences, many times know-it-alls
are toned down by others with statements like, "that's just your
opinion", corrective feedback, as it were. Admittedly, much of my experience has been around academia
where even much casual conversation exhibits rather quasi-formal,
argumentative tones, and probably would not be representative of most
causal, everyday conversations of the general population. - AH

a coincidence, right after posting the above message, I sat down
and half-attentively watched the movie "Stigmata" on Sci-fi Channel,
in an early scene, a priest named Andrew was arguing with his
superior. The superior said something like, "And this is fact..."
Andrew responded, "...this is my opinion"!! My ears perked up
and I smiled. Life is full of little surprises, thought it was worth
mentioning.
