Why do people say that?

Hi,

Here are a few of the reasons that I say it.

I hear people say it a lot.

I've always said it, throughout my life.

It adds emphasis.

 

You'll find a lot of discussions about this, if you search our Forum with "those ones".

 

Best wishes, Clive

Well, not everybody does.  I don't.  Clive has given some reasonable explanations for it.
