it is very concerning...i know it makes me sound like some ancient pedant, but i'm so old that i qualify for the title: in order for me to understand any sentence that starts or includes that phrase the speaker really should say worrying or of great concern or something like that. for some reason it puts my teeth on edge. i have no idea why this particular phrase does this but it does. i just want to slap people who use it. that said, i mostly hear it on the today programme (see, i said i was old), mostly by politicians and the windbag interviewers and i would not be sad to see most of them fired into space strapped to the outside of the rocket.

politicians have to talk like thatthey can refer to the person as "the honourable gentleman/woman" but if they think they're an utter twat they can use something like "the chancellor" or "the party member" but if they want to signify that the person is wretched vermin not even worthy of holding office (IE most of parliament) they use "the speaker" or "that bloke wot was just saying stuff, like"
