Hate when I catch myself "Well, actually"ing. I’ll either try to reword it to not sound so dickish or I’ll discard it if I think it’s not actually helpful or interesting.
I think I’ve eliminated the “[well, ]actually” from my speech patterns (unless using it sparingly for comedic effect) due to the memes as well. Turns out the dumb internet image macros can have a positive impact after all.
Just omit either “well” or “actually”. Maybe swap both for “surprisingly” or “unfortunately” depending on the context of the correction. I understand the struggle :(
Maybe I’m being dense, but I’m gonna need a mansplanation for this one.

Struggling over whether to upvote, downvote, both, or neither 🤔
This is why you should have three lemmy accounts: One to upvote, one to downvote, and one to do neither.
I feel like some effort could be saved on that third one by not actually making the account until the “neither” button is added ;P
Interestingly, both, and neither do the same thing here.
Upvote, downvote, leftvote, rightvote?
Upvote, upvote, downvote, downvote, leftvote, rightvote, leftvote, rightvote, bvote, avote, startvote!
I think it’s a play on “well, actually blah blah blah fact maybe” rebuttals.
