Default Re: More dull or duller?

You'll hate me for this, but look what I found on the concordancer :

It was said, you know, rather loosely and friendlily as I often say many things.

Which just goes to show how the language system is just a vehicle for expressing meaning, and it's then up to the individual to decide what meaning s/he wants to express.
