Over the last year I have noticed that more and more people use "blablabla" when speaking in a professional or personal context. Why would people do that? I was pretty worked up about "like" or "genre" in French which are filler word which do not actually add anything to your sentence. Blablabla is even worse. It means: "I feel I should have more to say on this subject, but i don't know what, so I'm using a filler word". If you don't have anything to say ... say nothing! What is wrong with silence? The crazy thing is that I'm hearing this used in English and in French (I wonder if it is being used in Chinese, Persian or Korean?).
The whole point of words and language is to convey meaning and to provoke thinking. The more we use meaningless words and "twitter sentences" the less we make sense. It seems to me that twitter and most internet communication is not there to expand our consciousness but to fill up the time in the easiest way possible. If it's too easy it's probably not worth reading or watching ... I trust you are finding my blog as hard to read as I am to write it!
