TooBald: "Honey what did I tell you about those words? Remove them, your sentence structure will be 40% more efficient. I can't be seen in public with a woman who has such horrible grammar."
Most people's grammar is expected to be bad on a forum..... but his special talent for picking out correct grammar and declaring it wrong, is one of a kind.

The fact that he doesn't see how those words can soften a sentence or add emphasis which changes the tone of what you're talking about, only hits the point harder that he's autistic and only sees things in a literal and efficient fashion. He's a robot.

He has no idea why 'just' is used in those examples, that's what's baffling.
Never said I don't know why it was used.
You used it for the same reason people use "there" for
"they are".... because they're your fellow simpletons ;)

I identified it correctly, as a filler word, and that diller words are an indication of poor vocabulary. The rest is your imagination......

Now your rebuttal is that people are wrong, for not expecting you to write incorrectly?

What a moron :)

You're stuck on repeat.

We're stating it's more than filler, your autistic brain can't comprehend that.

Your definition of a filler word seems to be 'meaningless words' added to a phrase or sentence.

But in the examples I have provided, how can they be classed as filler words if they are there for a reason?

This is his reason why he thinks I've added 'Just' to those phrases.

You said the word "just" makes a difference. I asked, multiple times, how "looking" out the window is different than "just looking" out the window?

I didn't say anything about bastardized or improper. I simply identified that you're adding unnecessary words, in order, to add bulk to your statement.... As though larger words or longer sentences...make it more true.

He says that the addition of the word 'just' is unnecessary... Which is incorrect
I've asked multiple times....what necessitates it's use?
how does
"look out the window" differ from
"just" look out the window?

If you showed a picture of someone looking out a window....to multiple people....and asked what they see..

How many would respond that he is
"just" looking out a window"
And how many would respond
"he is looking out a window"?

I believe last time, I asked, your response was something about bumper stickers.

This is no different than saying 8 AM in the morning.

You are, most definitely, a simpleton

I've already told you, but here it is again.

In English 'just' is added to the start of a phrase for two meanings, either for emphasis , as in 'Just Do it' or its used to soften the expression.(aka add politeness)

Throughout Britain the phrase 'just look out of the window ' would be seen as a request (a polite form), where as 'look out of the window' would be seen as an instruction (curt form.)

so the two statements differ because one is a request and the other is an instruction.

this is how its defined in the Cambridge grammar dictionary ( ''could you just close the window'')

Students in British schools will be taught to add 'just' as a grammatically correct way to soften requests.

the US definition of filler words (on sites like Grammarly etc.), does not influence grammar taught on British shores.

many of these words have multiple meanings or uses which are not always enforced or fully understood outside of the UK & Ireland

This is a teachers explanation in layman's terms of using 'Just' to soften the expression:

In many cases you’ll come across in spoken English, ‘just’ is used as a softener.

I’d better give you an example to explain what I mean by ‘softener’:

Can I just ask you a question? - what I’m saying here is ‘I want to ask you a question but I don’t want to inconvenience you and it’ll only take a short time’,
whereas directly saying ‘Can I ask you a question?’ doesn’t have this tone.

So, we often use ‘just’ to add a polite tone

But you’ve got to remember that the range of uses and meanings for ‘just’ are quite wide.

I can assure, you, people use "just" to indicate politeness and to soften tones here in the US too. This autistic monstrosity does not speak for the rest of us lol

I'm in complete agreement. People spell and use words inappropriately all day and everyday. The more ignorant people, that come together, wss does not make the incorrect action anymore correct....

Wrong is wrong, no matter how many people make a mistake.

The posture that wrong should be acceptable because there are many people doing something wrong is absurd...
