I'm often noticing now how she overstates/exaggerates. I think it's the same MO whether used harmlessly when talking about products or less benignly when talking about Tattle:
'...makes the best sucky-in opaques in the world, ever. Fact' = 'I've tried other brands and these are my favourites'.
'...different from any dry shampoo I’ve used previously (and I’ve used hundreds)' = 'I've used many others'
'They called her fat' = 'One person once said she was not as slim as me - hardly surprising given that I'm only a size 8. And, to be fair, the person who said it then apologised for having made a comment about someone's weight.'
I don't mean to let her off the hook for her misrepresentation of Tattle but I do wonder whether she would even see her account as having been dishonest - just a usual exaggeration for effect. 'Not as slim' / 'fat' - what's the difference?
