That's because almost every short phrase of commmon words or structure has been written before. There aren't very many that we recognize as grammatical and valid diction. That's what grammar and diction is.
- OJFord 6y agoI'm not sure what you're point is? Both the other commenter and I felt that it was familiar to us, and the combination of that and that it's a rather unusual phrase made it stand out. We're not sitting around going 'gosh it's like I've read your comment before' because everything you wrote is unoriginal.
