Every time I hear someone say ‘eh’ in a questioning tone or to mean ‘um actually’ I lose my shit. Or even just to play something down.

Like I literally come to hate the person instantly. Its a very strong feeling on a very small sound.

Instant downvotes if I see it on Lemmy too. HATE IT.

How about all y’all?

    Today I learned of the legal term “act of god”. (English speaking countries.)

    I find it absurd to attribute god and do so in legalese.

    /edit: well, maybe not hate, but irritated and dislike

      It’s not a religious thing. Legally it’s a disaster that could not be avoided, no human is liable, hence act of “god”.

        The hence in that sentence make no sense to me. I don’t see god doing this time. Often they’re even explainable.

          I’m not angry. It just doesn’t make logical sense to me. I expected law to use precise, correct wording.

          I guess I shouldn’t have posted it here under hate. It’s just something that came to mind that very recently irritated and surprised me. I find it very inappropriate for law, even if there’s historical social reasons for it.
