One thing that always bugs me... when you say ‘generally’, do you usually mean it in the positive, glass-half-full sense of ‘consistently’, or in the glass-half-empty sense of ‘with exceptions’?

Follow up. When you use the word ‘generally’, do you do so with the intent to detract from a given statement, to sow doubts about the statement’s truthfulness?

Last one. If someone gives you a compliment, but adds the word ‘generally’, do you then feel good or bad about it? I.e. ‘You’re generally nice’/‘You’re generally skilled’ etc

Okay, LAST last. I wanna know if being a Brit has anything to do with how ‘generally’ is used and perceived. So, are you from the UK, and how do you feel about it?

Just personally, I usually use it to bolster the (general) perceived truthfulness of the statement by trying to address and insulate it from individual contradictory examples.

Ahhh, so you use it to imply that something is MORE true than if you’d left it out?? Very interesting.
