"Also", "and", and "to/too"---Why does Palin use them..

[vaberella]

I can't tolerate this sort of language. She says "and also too McCain has..." who taught her how to speak? It's ridiculously irritating and she ends up losing me when I try to grasp her point. Maybe she's playing "rope-a-dope" by using language; but she ends up looking like the dope.

[jpertello]

1. Yeah

I also as well find her language irritating too.

[vaberella]

12. Awww, man. ^_^ You're killing me...

:rofl:

[Overseas]

2. I think I overuse also too, sort of.

And my guess is that it is an inclusive thing-- or attention holding device.

[vaberella]

13. It loses me...but I "also and too" think that I have ADD at this point.

:rofl:

[bevoette]

3. it's the FOG of words...she just keeps talking and in that, talking and also, talking...

and pretty soon, you know, i think, for many of them, as it were, they are simply mesmerized by her words, in any event

[skooooo]

4. Yeah filler words...

..probably gives her brain a few more seconds to formulate more bullshit.

[bevoette]

11. classic technique, really...stall w/ your mouth while your brain tries to catch up (nm)

[vaberella]

15. I'd just get confused and lose my point. That's why I'm prone to pausing. n/t

[bevoette]

16. that's what SMART people do, IMO...they shut up and pause. sometimes they may even say "uh" ;)

instead of, also, you know, and too, continuing on

21. Beautiful. Said so nicely and also just kind of , you know ,

in a way, talking to all of us and also to those we might, you know, kind of wish would understand that we, too, could possibly, in some ways, be presumed to wish to communicate with about our nation's shared priorities...

[BrklynLiberal]

5. She is not a clear concise thinker, so she cannot be a clear concise speaker.

[oviedodem]

6. She does not read enough or listen to people who speak properly that is why her diction is like that

[MissDeeds]

7. I think my husband said it best

"She's too stupid to know she's stupid". Her speech is incoherent much of the time. But, hey! How 'bout those clothes? :rofl:

[Lost-in-FL]

8. And also too...

that look in her face like, and, yeah... like a moose is about to be run over by a snowmobile. Also.

[AnAnonymousDemocrat]

9. It's because she has simply memorized lots of disjointed phrases

Saying "also too" is her way of transitioning from one memorized phrase to the next. It's her simple-minded way of attempting to sound coherent.

[Obamanaut]

10. Sometimes she will use the same word or phrase at the beginning

and the end of what passes for a sentence for her, sometimes. (I did that on purpose also too)

[vaberella]

17. Oh man, what is that? I've noticed that too, which makes me think

that she does it because people would lose her point. Like she would start with HRC and end her phrase "...and also too HRC made those cracks in the glass cieling..."

[mrcheerful]

14. Not as bad as my SO when voicing her opinion

"Me, myself say Obama will win", wtf? But then anyone that miss uses english tend to be under the impression it shows how "smart" they are. It's like the idiot talking in circles throwing out a few big words to make it sound like he studied whatever he is talking about, I end up tuning them out after they throw out the first big word, 9 times out of 10 they mispronounce it anyhow. One such ex friend idiot and I had a falling out and he kept yelling the I portraied him, "ahhhhhh dude, its betray, I never took a picture or painted your nor did I try to be you".

[nc4bo]

18. Those words are like the fillers that ruin a crab cake. Gibberish silence fill 'er uppers for the

stupid.

[AlCzervik]

19. i watched the interview with Grumpy, Dopey and Williams and my gawds her speaking

style is just strange, no one talks that way.

[BobTheSubgenius]

20. One of my very best friends is a psych. social worker, and she calls that behaviour

"word salad."

Keep talking and hopefully stumble across a point that you might be making.....or at least fill time until your prayers are answered and your incredulous audience suggests one in the hope that you'll stop.
