My additional whime (yes, I'd like cheese and crackers with that, maybe some grapes too):

I just miss the good ol' days, when people weren't in such a hurry, and talked longer sentences that were often fluid and elegant and had a certain ring to them and a cadence and rhythm and je ne sais quois. (Unlike the foregoing. ) "Weaponise" and other short and nasty expressions are hastening the demise of sweet speech. IMHO...
