A message to all the Cracker Barrel nonces: reverting already means going back. You dont need to say "reverting back". You're annoying enough as it is.

As if these people have a solid grasp of the English language at all 🤣 (But, if they see a multilingual person, they'll shriek, "speak American." 🙄 If they travel abroad, they'll refuse to learn how to communicate with locals.)

Drop "already" and your sentence will be stronger. Instead of "you dont need to say", say "Don't say". Drop "as it is" from the last sentence. Everyone should seek to improve their sentences.

My grade 11 English teacher called those extra words “deadwood.” I cannot count all the red inked lines drawn through my and my classmates papers!

Hence already means that's why. No-one needs to say 'hence why'.

And “nonces” means this one occasion; the present call or purpose; or the present time. Here endeth the lesson

I would like to add ‘continue on’ to that list. “Continue on the main road” is fine. “We’ll continue on listening to our customers” is not.

The people who still eat at this dump not only lack taste buds but also much, if any, formal education. Expecting them to know this is a bit of a climb really.

Adam @itsnotmeadam.bsky.social

It’s an ugly word, anyway. Where I work everyone says ‘revert’ instead of ‘get back to you’, as in “Tom will revert if there’s any update.”

Huh? Is the use of "revert" even correct at all in that context?

Not… really? But it’s closer to sense than, say, “across the piece”.

Yes. Time and again, the US right wing - who are the people who have been crying about Cracker Barrel's logo - have been outed as paedophiles. They witter on about drag queens reading stories in libraries, then lo and behold, the hard drive of doom and a stretch in jail. Nonces.

Reverting back means going forward because if you are going back, and then back again, you have reverted to your original direction, actually 😂
