Someone said- Did you hear that- Well I heard- You won't believe what someone- SSccccrreeeecchhhhh!!!
Don't gossip- lol, this is a tough one for all of us I know. But if it starts with "someone told me" or any of the above mentioned phrases, we'd probably be better off not saying it. Especially if you don't have a name for that someone, and if you can't say the name it's better left un-said. I have a policy when someone says 'someone said' I ask who the someone was, and if they are unwilling to say, then it's probably not true, there isn't really a someone or the someone made it up.
