When I looked at my computer screen, I saw your beautiful face and when I jotted notes, I found myself printing your name. Even when I broke for lunch, I remembered our date, the smell of your hair, your perfume, your playful laugh. Everywhere I looked, I remembered you! Since I met you, my world is coming alive.

To me, there is something more than being usurped by this construct. My problem lies in living in a world where these laws and constructs don't benefit the common man. In many ways, I think money is a thing to make us poorer. I often feel separated from my family and friends in that I would be viewed as somewhat a 'weird' person.
wj5ud. What phrase should I use to prevent the redundancy of saying "In my opinion..."? Oftentimes, I always say this phrase whenever my teacher asks for my opinion about certain subject or topic and it sounds a little redundant and annoying. Is there any alternative to say the above-mentioned phrase? - Alternative, in a way, that it will sound witty. asked Jul 4, 2015 at 322 5 As I see it it seems to me It seems likely I have observed One can postulate In my experience As far as I can tell Consider this You can see that One might argue that the evidence can lead one to conclude answered Jul 4, 2015 at 1122 Brian HitchcockBrian gold badge21 silver badges38 bronze badges 2 To my mind, "to my mind" can work in lieu of "in my opinion". Futhermore, and from my standpoint/perspective, "from my standpoint/perspective" can also work in lieu of "in my opinion"...

I use that a lot. Also sounds pretty sophisticated ; answered Jul 4, 2015 at 550 NickyNicky691 silver badge5 bronze badges 2 As anotherdave said, don't say it unless it needs to be said. If someone has asked for your opinion then beginning with "In my opinion" is redundant but better than saying "uhmm" or "errr". For those times when it is appropriate then I suggest "It seems to me that..." This takes a little longer to say than "I think that" or "I reckon that" so give a little more thinking time. "It seems to me" comes across as far more matter-of-fact but really means the same thing - just with more confidence. It seems to put the onus of truth on the statement on the thing making you think that rather than yourself. If it turns out that you are wrong you can blame how it seemed rather than your opinion. "It occurs to me that..." is even more matter-of-fact but still not completely. The listener would expect the following words to be true. However, you have a get-out clause if it turns out that they are not you did say "to me". answered Jul 4, 2015 at 1122 AvonAvon5,21817 silver badges37 bronze badges Most of the time, nothing â as you said, "in my opinion" is mostly a redundant phrase, as people normally assume your giving your own personal opinion anyway In my opinion, Star Wars is better than Star Trek In my opinion, Galway is a nicer city than London Both of these are clearly quite subjective & don't need any qualifying phrase. The times to use "in my opinion" are in my opinion when your personal view could be misunderstood as something other than a personal standpoint.

Staff have decided to place a soft ban on topics concerning AI content generation and their algorithms like Stable Diffusion and ChatGPT. You can read more about the update here. The redundance of saying "I think" or "in my opinion." Thread starter Digital Start date Jan 12, 2018 You are using an out of date browser. It may not display this or other websites should upgrade or use an alternative browser. 1 Throughout school, I was always taught that when writing, using phrases like "I think," or "in my opinion," or "to be honest," is usually redundant, since it should be obvious to the reader that any subjective views you present are yours. You're saying it - unless it's a proven fact, then it's obviously your opinion. For example, if I were to say "I think Dark Souls 2 is a good game," that'd be unnecessary. I could just say "Dark Souls 2 is a good game," and that would have the same meaning. I get the impression that many people were never taught the same way, to the point where some people get offended because they think you're implying that your opinion is fact, which is silly for a number of reasons. If someone says "The Last Jedi is a good movie," you should be able to gather that they're just stating their opinions. So tell me is saying "in my opinion" or "I think" generally necessary? Last edited Jan 12, 2018 2 I get irritated by people that quote others just to say "in your opinion." Yeah obviously it's their opinion or do you see someone else's username over the post you stupid moron? 3 Yes. I use it when what I am saying is my opinion. I don't use it when reciting factual information. For instance, man-made climate change is not opinion, it's fact. "Global warming is real. In my opinion a good way to combat it would be to outlaw private combustion engines." 4 worse is when people respond to you saying something with "that's just your opinion." 5 Depends on who you're talking with, especially on twitter. I find you constantly have to remind people that words you type on the internet are nothing more than your opinion, especially when discussing the quality of a product. It amazes me how many times i have to keep explaining this when I say stuff like "this game is bad." "No it isn't, maybe you just don't like it." All. The. Time. Bless the 280 character limit on twitter to help squeeze in the unnecessary, but necessary words. 6 Yes. I use it when what I am saying is my opinion. I don't use it when reciting factual information. Dark Souls 2 was released in 2014. Dark Souls 2 is a bad game. Is it that hard to tell which is fact and which is opinion? Keyboard Guest 7 Phrase "I think" is necessary to differentiate what's opinion and fact. Some people use "I feel", which doesn't make any sense. If you studied another language, grammar emphasizes this rule a lot. 8 Your instructors are right as far as academic writing goes, but the audience within academia would be more likely to perceive the unstated "IMO" because they were also trained to write this way. To a general audience that might not be used to such a concept, adding IMO or "I think/I feel/I believe" is a good idea. It clearly communicates that you are offering an opinion rather than what you might be considering a subjective statement, and it's also polite and softens your tone enough that people won't perceive it as an aggressive argument. It's necessary to differentiate what's opinion and fact. Some people use "I feel", which doesn't make any sense. Why don't you think that this makes sense? "I feel as though Dark Souls 2 is a bad game" makes sense to me. Is it the unwritten "as though" which is merely implied that doesn't make sense to you? No snark meant, by the way. 9 It's not redundant. "I think it's bad" implies that you do not like it and think it's bad, which is very different to "it is bad" which implies some objective quality or lack thereof in this case that is universal truth. It's a very worthwhile distinction and something I am always careful of. 10 I'm with you mostly. When someone states something's their opinion, of course it's their opinion, who else's would it be? But at the same time I feel like if you state "In my opinion, Wind Waker is the worst Zelda game", it has a connotation that you're inviting more discussion on it; the weaknesses or strengths of the title, etc. If you just state it outright without the clarification, it comes across as though the discussion's already been had. I think it's a nuanced thing that not everyone will see that way, but that's how I take it. 11 It depends on if you're talking about writing a report or posting online. Internet users can take non-explicit declarations of opinions negatively and treat them as snotty responses. It's redundant, but I'd rather make sure my opinion is couched rather than deal with some jackass who wants to tell me "no, x is objectively y!" 12 It's necessary to differentiate what's opinion and fact. In general, no it's not. It should be pretty obvious what is an objective fact and what's a subjective opinion. 14 People tend to use it to preface an opinion that might be difficult for others to swallow immediately. It's a "before you lose your shit, hear me out" statement. 15 Dark Souls 2 was released in 2014. Dark Souls 2 is a bad game. Is it that hard to tell which is fact and which is opinion? You just illustrated why it's better to say "I think" and "in my opinion." With written text, we lose so much of what makes human communication work, so we must be careful with our words to avoid understanding. You must not assume that people know what you mean when conveying a point strictly over text. You have no idea who will be reading it or who they are. Keyboard Guest 16 In general, no it's not. It should be pretty obvious what is an objective fact and what's a subjective opinion. You're assuming everyone reacts the same way as you do. 17 I find it useful, though I am literally autistic. That said, I do think ha that no, it's not necessarily or always implied - or even intended - that one's words are stated as "opinion' instead of 'fact'. Especially when considering how often when faced with a countering point of view, many will take to responding as though that's not a difference in opinion - and thus dependent on person - but simply wrong and provable as an objective fact. I find that tossing in a basic clarification - as even used at the very start of this sentence - allows for a greater deal of leeway in the conversation, because I implicitly sanction the idea that there may be those who disagree with me on the point in question. 18 In general, no it's not. It should be pretty obvious what is an objective fact and what's a subjective opinion. You may think it should be pretty obvious, but it's demonstrably not the case in many, many, many cases. 19 It is simply a verbal contrivance for the sake of politeness, something mostly lost on the internet. Most of us use it to smooth the transition by which we express our thoughts and not sound completely full of ourselves. There are probably many such expressions which are not technically needed yet still socially beneficial. Keyboard Guest 20 Why don't you think that this makes sense? "I feel as though Dark Souls 2 is a bad game" makes sense to me. Is it the unwritten "as though" which is merely implied that doesn't make sense to you? No snark meant, by the way. If you disagree, you appear to upset a person's feelings when you are actually disagreeing an opinion, not an emotional state. Everyone can have feelings. Thinking or thought processes can be wrong. 21 You just illustrated why it's better to say "I think" and "in my opinion." With written text, we lose so much of what makes human communication work, so we must be careful with our words to avoid understanding. You must not assume that people know what you mean when conveying a point strictly over text. You have no idea who will be reading it or who they are. No, I didn't. Answer the question is it that hard to tell the difference between a stated fact and an opinion on a game? 22 In the end, it all comes down to whether or not you want people to understand your intent. If you do, then you should be as clear as possible with your words to avoid misunderstandings. If you don't, then why are you writing it? Just to troll or get a rise out of people? 23 It is simply a verbal contrivance for the sake of politeness, something mostly lost on the internet. Most of us use it to smooth the transition by which we express our thoughts and not sound completely full of ourselves. There are probably many such expressions which are not technically needed yet still socially beneficial. All of this. 24 It is unnecessary but I generally open with it anyway for the silly reason you stated. Some people can't distinguish objective and subjective statements, so it helps to specify yourself. With people I know well I may drop it. 25 In a formal paper, sure, this is absolutely true. You would never say âI thinkâ in an essay or a report of some kind. But conversationally, which most online interactions replicate, âI thinkâ is extremely important. People react very differently to somebody presenting an opinion versus asserting a fact. If you want to have healthy and constructive conversations it is usually helpful to qualify what youâre saying as a belief, subject to change, versus a fact, which cannot. 26 I use it too much, but I use it most intentionally when I'm genuinely unsure about what I'm saying and I'm trying to emphasize that. A little like "don't quote me on this, but I've heard". 27 If you disagree, you are upsetting a person's feelings when you are actually disagreeing an opinion. I don't quite understand that point. When speaking subjectively, "think" and "feel" are usually one and the same for the speaker. "I think that there is an afterlife" and "I feel that there is an afterlife" are both thoughts based on something that personally comes from the experience of the speaker, and attacking either one would constitute the same "upsetting" of whatever worldview/experiences that the person saying the line has. 28 In a formal paper, sure, this is absolutely true. But conversationally, which most online interactions replicate, âI thinkâ is extremely important. People react very differently to somebody presenting an opinion versus asserting a fact. If you want to have healthy and constructive conversations it is usually helpful to qualify what youâre saying as a belief, subject to change, versus a fact, which cannot. Shouldn't this difference be obvious? Can someone think of an opinion that could be misconstrued as a fact? ry-dog Attempted to circumvent ban with alt account 29 There's a huge difference between writing "I think it's not a good a game" vs "it's not a good game". The latter reads as dismissive of those who think it's a good game, and like you're trying to make some objective statement. 30 There is no such thing as a universal truth or objective quality in discussing something that can never be fact. "It is bad" is identical to "I think it is bad." There is no need to clarify. You can't speak for all other people regarding the quality of anything, so therefore 'it is bad' will always mean 'i think it is bad.' It might be helpful sometimes to clarify your tolerance to certain issues. "It has framerate issues" can be both factual and opinion, for example it has poor frame pacing, lots of frame drops vs 'i only have a tolerance for games that are steady 60fps and this game is not', but for the most part there is no need say 'it is my opinion that' because it's always implied when discussing anything subjective. If anyone is reading "it is a bad game" as some sort of attack on their opinion, they're presuming too much. It can and only ever will be the opinion of the person who said it. The sooner people figure this out, the sooner people will stop getting so mad on internet forums. 31 No, I didn't. Answer the question is it that hard to tell the difference between a stated fact and an opinion on a game? In order to tell that the person doing the writing understands that what they are saying is just an opinion and not a stated fact, it is important to qualify statements. There are many people out there that actually believe things like "the controls are bad" to not just be their opinion, but to be objective fact that no one could possibly disagree with. The impression such a statement gives is very different to "I thought the controls were bad." 32 I use it a lot online to soften my tone. "I think" lends hot takes a personal tone, and I've found that people tend to respond more amicably than when I dish my takes raw. 33 The underlying issue is that people on the internet see debates and discussions as a competition rather than a means to create more and better understanding. By putting your opinions behind qualifiers you're basically taking yourself out of a fight that shouldn't occur in the first place. Admittedly, debates that start on the simple premises like "this is good/bad" aren't worthwhile to begin with but that's just another symptom of internet debate culture. 34 I use it too much, but I use it most intentionally when I'm genuinely unsure about what I'm saying and I'm trying to emphasize that. A little like "don't quote me on this, but I've heard". Yeah. The only time you should bother saying "I think" is when you're actually expressing a tentative belief, not an opinion. Keyboard Guest 35 I don't quite understand that point. When speaking subjectively, "think" and "feel" are usually one and the same for the speaker. "I think that there is an afterlife" and "I feel that there is an afterlife" are both thoughts based on something that personally comes from the experience of the speaker, and attacking either one would constitute the same "upsetting" of whatever worldview/experiences that the person saying the line has. Your thinking can be flawed. Your feelings can not because you are emotional being. 37 You'd think it needless, but the internet. 38 Throughout school, I was always taught that when writing, using phrases like "I think," or "in my opinion," is usually redundant, since it's obvious that any subjective views you present are yours. You're saying it - unless it's a proven fact, then it's obviously your opinion. For example, if I were to say "I think Dark Souls 2 is a good game," that'd be unnecessary. I could just say "Dark Souls 2 is a good game," and that would have the same meaning. I get the impression that many people were never taught the same way, to the point where some people get offended because they think you're implying that your opinion is fact, which is silly for a number of reasons. If someone says "The Last Jedi is a good movie," you should be able to gather that they're just stating their opinions. So tell me is saying "in my opinion" or "I think" generally necessary? I think the problem here is that we are taught these things as absolutes. "Do this." "Don't do that." What we should be taking into account when we write are context and audience. Only the Sith deal in absolutes. 39 There are many people out there that actually believe things like "the controls are bad" to not just be their opinion, but to be objective fact that no one could possibly disagree with. The impression such a statement gives is very different to "I thought the controls were bad." Could you give a real example of this? 40 it's also a politeness strategy. adding something like that to a sentence can change how it is interpreted so it is clearly not redundant. 41 Shouldn't this difference be obvious? Can someone think of an opinion that could be misconstrued as a fact? Yes, it should be. But it isn't, especially when we talk about an art. "Dark Souls 2 is a bad game" can mean "I think it's bad," "general consensus says it's bad." Those two ideas are both valid for that statement in practice, regardless of the principle. 42 It is important. Many people in here like to take anything said by a person quite literally sometimes, so using one of these phrases can prevent an aggressive comment from another person. Even though it may seem completely redundant, it's one of these things that just make these anonymous forum posts a little bit more personal, down to earth and relatable. Yeah, that's my opinion obviously ; 43 It's a byproduct of lazy and impersonal internet discussion in my opinion. If I made a thread right now that said Phantom Menace is the best Star Wars, people would come in and write 'you are objectively wrong and it is factually not.' It's just how conversation has devolved. 44 It is simply a verbal contrivance for the sake of politeness, something mostly lost on the internet. Most of us use it to smooth the transition by which we express our thoughts and not sound completely full of ourselves. There are probably many such expressions which are not technically needed yet still socially beneficial. Nailed and beautifully put imo 45 I work in journalism and I use the phrase "In my opinion" and "I think" all the time to differentiate what we can report, what we can't, and whether I'm relaying a fact to a co-worker about a specific story or just expressing my personal views on it. It's important to be specific about a personal view or a report-able fact in my work to everyone I talk to. Eventually, this way of expressing myself leaks into everyday language and forum posts. 46 I think the problem here is that we are taught these things as absolutes. "Do this." "Don't do that." What we should be taking into account when we write are context and audience. Only the Sith deal in absolutes. So you're saying I think too much of people? 47 Could you give a real example of this? Let me ask you this can you prove that everything you state as a fact is actually an objective truth? 48 Your thinking can be flawed. Your feelings can not because you are emotional being. But most people won't disconnect the two. To them, what they think is largely based on what they feel or experience, and the two things are inextricably connected. I'm not saying that you are completely wrong about your distinction; I'm saying that people don't bother to make that distinction when using those terms, or at least online, they don't. 49 So you're saying I think too much of people? You think that other people are like you too much. 50 I never used that wording in school. I use it on forums though because theres always some jerkoff to reply 'well, thats just your opinion mannn.'
Suppose you are with a group of friends discussing the greatest inventions of the 20th century. One friend says, âI think the computer was the best invention. Thereâs no question about it.â Another friend says, âI disagree! Have you forgotten that airplanes exist?â The first one responds with, âActually, todayâs airplanes could not operate without computers.â Knowing how to express your opinion in English is valuable whether you are speaking or writing. In todayâs program we will look at phrases you can use to share your point of view. Common phrases Many phrases are suitable in everyday speech and some types of writing, such as on blogs and personal websites. You have probably already seen or used some of these phrases I think⊠I believe⊠I feel⊠In my opinion⊠and I would say⊠For example, imagine you have your own food website. Today youâre writing or talking about the worldâs best street food. You might say In my opinion, Bangkok has the best street food. Add strength But suppose you wanted to make the statement stronger. You can do it by adding an adverb or adjective. For example I really think⊠I strongly believe⊠I truly feel⊠or In my honest opinion⊠In addition, giving reasons for your opinion adds strength to the claim. Letâs hear the street food statement again In my honest opinion, Bangkok has the best street food. I have never seen more choices of what to eat â and everything Iâve tried has been delicious! Formal phrases Next, letâs look at a few phrases that are more common in formal situations. You might, for example, hear one of these at a business meeting or a conference, or in a formal paper From my point of view⊠From my perspective⊠In my view⊠or It seems to me that⊠Hereâs an example In my view, cruise ships should be banned. They produce massive amounts of waste and use the dirtiest fuel in the world. Though phrases like âIn my viewâŠâ are usually more formal than ones like âI think,â there is no rule for where or when you can use them. Itâs often a matter of personal choice. Asking for opinions So, imagine youâve expressed yourself. But what about the opinion of others? Often, when we express an opinion or suggestion, itâs a good idea to ask other people for theirs. Phrases like these help show our desire to hear from others What do you think ofâŠ? What are your thoughts onâŠ? How do you feel aboutâŠ? and Whatâs your opinion onâŠ? You can use these questions in many kinds of situations. You might ask, for instance Whatâs your opinion on Futbol Club Barcelona? How do you feel about the new art director? What are your thoughts on tonightâs activities? Agreeing & disagreeing Finally, letâs talk about agreeing and disagreeing. Agreeing is the easy part. To show agreement, you can use short, clear statements. Letâs suppose a friend says, âI think summer is way more fun than winter!â You might show you agree by giving one of these responses So do I. Me too. Definitely. I agree. or I couldnât agree more. Note that, âagreeâ is a verb in English, so be careful not to say, âI am agreeâ for the present tense verb. You can also give reasons for your agreement I completely agree! I couldnât live without beach days and outdoor festivals. But what if a person says something you disagree with? With close friends or family, we can use informal, direct phrases to say we disagree. You might say something like I disagree! I donât agree. or Yeah, but⊠Hereâs how that sounds Yeah, but winter has just as many fun things to do. You just have to dress warmly. At other times, such as in discussions of more serious subjects, or in professional situations, these phrases can be too direct. Suppose people at work or school are sharing opinions about politics or religious beliefs or something equally sensitive. For such times, your language should be more polite. So, instead of saying âI totally disagree!â or âYouâre wrong!â you might say one of these Iâm not sure I agree with you on⊠Iâm sorry but I donât agree. or Iâm afraid I disagree. Another common way to disagree politely is to tell the person you respect their opinion before sharing your own. Try phrases like these I see what youâre saying but⊠You have a point there but⊠or I understand where youâre coming from but⊠Listen to a short exchange Weâre paying sky-high rents and other costs. Our business would save a lot of money by changing cities. I see what youâre saying but, in my view, now is not the right time to leave Los Angeles. The city offers too many incentives. Final thoughts Youâve probably observed that, in real life, many people state opinions without using an opening phrase. They might just say, âSummer is better than winter,â for example. Though this is acceptable with friends or family or for lighter subjects, avoid doing this in professional situations or for heavier subjects. Wow, that was a lot of information, wasnât it!? The good news is that you donât need to memorize it. In my opinion, you should choose only a few phrases that feel most natural to you and practice them whenever you can. Iâm Alice Bryant. Alice Bryant wrote this story for Learning English. Kelly Jean Kelly was the editor. _____________________________________________________________ Practice 1. Now you try it!
