That being said

[proggy]

Am i the only person that thinks "that being said" is overused in the english language lately?

[HenneBaby02]

Am i the only one whose thinking this is a waste of thread ?? (just wanted to get a post in since its here) sooooo with that being said.. CYa :)

[staf0048]

Completely agree! Same goes for "the reality is" at least at my workplace.

Someones opinion is never a waste but yours is rather rude but it`s
your opinion.

That being said, it goes to show that at the end of the day, it is what it is.

:lolflag: agrees

[Khakilang]

Enough say no opinion is a waste. Now having say that am I the only person who agree to this?

[mystmaiden]

The one that get's me is 'all things being equal'

er.. since when are all things equal??

Now, that being said...

[Excedio]

I have no issue with it as long as it's being used correctly.

[endotherm]

"all things considered" sounds better, but it comes off as though you are capable of actually considering all things (which of course no human will ever be). I tend to use "That said, however, ..."

I don't think it's particularly overused, but it is a common way to politely point out that while someones argument has basic merit, that their logic is still flawed.

Quite. The answer to "am I the only one who..." is pretty much always no. Don't bother asking.

thats why they call it rhetoric

[ticopelp]

I try not to fret too much over commonly-used phrases, but the one that most frequently gets under my skin is "I don't understand how anyone could (like something I don't like, use something I don't use)". Surely it can't be that difficult to grasp that people have different likes and dislikes than yourself.

[Frogs Hair]

But like, that being said, the reality is, your not alone. I can't stand it anymore !! #-o

:lol: That's great.

I can appreciate this thread because I put my pants on one leg at a time and my poop don't smell like roses.

[ubunterooster]

that being said, I have never used that phrase before

[RiceMonster]

That being said, it goes to show that at the end of the day, it is what it is.

That being said, I agree with this post.
