Have you ever thought about the phrase, "As a matter of fact…"?
I feel like it is a phrase that is used quite often but never really thought about. Because if I use the phrase in a conversation, it is totally different than when Wells uses the phrase in his Con Law lecture.
"As a matter of fact I did take a shower yesterday."
"As a matter of fact in the abortion cases the scientific evidence of the trimester structure…."
I don’t think I am making much sense, but think about the phrase. I never thought about where it came from, but it is legal jargon being thrown around in real life. I don’t know how I feel about that, I get enough legal jargon in my pretend life – class.
