How Has Television Affected Your Speech?
Oct. 20th, 2004 08:43 amI noticed, when reading my Fred Meyer conversation, that I used two phrases that I stole from Mad About You. I also use a lot of constructions stolen from Buffy. So, I wonder, what other ways have other shows affected my speaking patterns.
Questions -
What televisionisms do you hear when we speak, or when you read my writing?
What televisionisms are you aware of in your own speaking or writing?
