Pet Peeve: Just Sayin'

I can take criticism pretty well, but recently a phrase has started cropping up that really irks me:

Just Sayin'

The format of it's use goes like this:

"You probably should/shouldn't do this/that. Just sayin'

Adding the 'JS' ending is a total cop-out, presumably meant to not offend, which in actuality, is very offensive.

Just sayin' what? That you don't mean it? That your statement isn't really worth the words you wasted on it? Just sayin' that your grammar sucks? Just sayin', as in "don't shoot the messenger"?

If you've got something to say, then just say it. If its a criticism, then give me a basis that it is built on, some angles, examples and (hopefully) a recommendation for improvement.

This favoured term of the millenials needs to be eradicated.

An Interview with Eli Gottlieb, Author of "The Face Thief"

Eli Gottlieb and I connected on a number of levels when he came on the show to discuss his book 'The Face Thief'

Not only did he write a thrilling novel, but his east-coast vibe and sensibility made for a great chat about his book, kids, the internet and the state of the publishing industry.

An Interview with Daisy Whitney, Author of "The Mockingbirds"

Daisy Whitney is no stranger to new media, as she blogs, consults and produces video for the new media advertising industry.

Her latest venture is as a novelist and she's rockin' it with "The Mockingbirds". A great story with deep topics. Do not mistake this for a Young Adult prep-school book. I really liked it.

Get Daisy's book on Amazon

An Interview with Ken Jennings, all time Jeopardy winner and author of "Maphead"

Ken Jennings is perhaps best known as the all-time Jeopardy champion, with the most wins ever.

Ken is also a Maphead, he's crazy about maps and has been since his youth. We talk about his life as a writer, game show wizzard, potential senatorial candidate and of course, about maps!
