Found the psycho π
A or C.
All of a sudden?
Ha, I had the same reaction but the opposite way: the sudden?
the only accepted use of it is all of a sudden
All of a sudden or suddenly. Leaning back on old camp counsellor story telling, I think all of a sudden would be better for building tension whereas a quick, staccato **suddenly! **acts like a verbal bang or jump start, if that makes any sense.
I like that, suddenly is sudden to the listener, all of a sudden is surprising to the story's characters, and makes the listener anticipate that surprise without being able to warn them about it
Suddenly?
All my troubles seemed so far away?
Donβt you mean, βIβm not half the man I used to beβ?
All of a sudden could be replaced with the adverb suddenly
Yes indeed.
I posted this as something of a template of an idea for Lemmy lacking polls..
ahhh
"All in the suddens" but ironically in a German accent
Suddenly pineapples.
Suddenly Seymour.
The best asdf bits are ones without any prior context.
