Is that Billy Dee Williams?

 

this one USED to irritate me(I say "used to" because I think it's slowly fading out). "The thing of it is, is".

 

This one drives me nuts too. I had a friend who said it constantly.

 

you say "said".....maybe it Has GONE by the wayside. Man, I hope so. But now I have to listen to my sister, who uses the double-is, almost all the time.

 

Our friendship has gone by the wayside, so I couldn't say.
