I skipped over the the first paragraph that actually just stated the name Robert Fulgham straight up. I'm so used to skipping over bullshit introductions that these shit writers think they need to pad their garbage articles with.
I was expecting something like: "We've all heard the phrase: 'Sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never hurt me,' before. Maybe it was on a school yard playground, maybe it was even in the break room at the office, or maybe it was just while you were at the grocery store. But where did this phrase actually come from? Many phrases come in to the English language through the most unorthodox ways. It might even be hard to believe where this phrase came from once you finally figure it out. But there's some unrelated things I want to write about first before you vainly attempt to forward through the next three slides to try and find the answer to the click bait title you were drawn in here with. No need to rush it, you will be served with pages of ads before you find the answer and if you're using an adblocker you won't be able to access the secret slide that it's on."
I realize the irony of my comment in that I basically cancelled out the time I saved not seeing shitty article introduction padding. I'm just so confused by being served the information immediately and without hassle that I don't know how to respond.
