that's odd. I've never hear 'right right' used together. I'll keep my ears peeled to see if I can pick it up.


My recent distaste has been for verbs that have been turned into nouns. It seems that every meeting that I am in these days has somebody stating that a request is an "ask"

I.e. : " the ask here is to get a project plan finalized by sunday night"
