Just heard this on BBC 24,
"... she (Hilary Clinton) is looking forward to debating Donald Trump later this year."
Debating with surely, BBC?

It's US English that's creeping in a bit here, much like "appeal" and "protest" without the following "against".
― Alba, Saturday, 28 May 2016 14:28 (seven years ago) link
From the Guardian,
"Donald Trump has said he will not debate Bernie Sanders after several days of changing his mind on the issue."
And yet, the Mirror,
"The Republican front-runner announced on Friday that he didn't want to debate with the "second place finisher" in the Democratic contest..."

Yes, the former was produced in the Guardian's US offices.

I always use 'i was wondering if I could' which feels like the same level of passiveness

Not sure if this is a similar thing but "I began to believe the voices in my head were wrong"
Surely "I began to believe THAT the voices in my head were wrong" would remove that ambiguity

"I'm sorry, but--"
I wonder if this is what spawned "sorry not sorry", which gives me hives.

I strongly dislike the word 'funky' when used to describe things other than music.
― aonghus, Tuesday, 7 June 2016 00:29 (seven years ago) link
tbh I get more annoyed when that word is applied to music
― μpright mammal (mh), Tuesday, 7 June 2016 01:09 (seven years ago) link
I ate a 100 year old duck egg this evening and there was definitely a prominent flavor there that could be appropriately called funky

When I've tossed a variety of dirty clothes into the hamper to await washing, then after a number of days, the contents of the hamper start to smell funky.

"womp womp" as onomatopoeia for the sad trombone sound. I see this all over twitter and facebook lately. I don't hear a "p" sound in there at all!

Womp would be a better word for some kind of bass sound or something.
