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?

It always comes across to me as a deliberate attempt to detract, like... you could have just said ‘you’re awesome’, but you wanted to make sure it wasn’t that definitive

Whaaaaat. In this instance I would take generally to mean "most of the time." Huh.

I almost ALWAYS take it badly in my head. If someone says something nice but adds ‘generally’, I’ll legitimately be more sad than if they’d said nothing because it feels like they were going out of their way to make sure I knew it’s not 100% true.
