Bla Bla Rhetoric Is Causing A Breakdown In Political Communication
Bla! Bla! What absurd ideas some people have. 1848 - The Santa Fe Republican (Santa Fe, NM) 15 Oct. 3/4 Baby talk A few other early examples use "bla" to describe baby-talk, setting up the possibility that it was first used to describe meaningless talk from an infant and grew from that to refer to idle or meaningless talk generally. The phrase "blah blah blah" is so informal as to not warrant an official, correct spelling by any authority. So only practice defines (circularly) what is the most common. And that seems to me 'blah blah blah'. orthography - Is "blah blah blah" the most common spelling? - English ... In some scientific papers, we see that some professors write "University of Bla" on their papers, while others write "Bla University".

Nowadays, to my surprise, this word is completely replaced by toffees cough- drops sweet- tablets candies bla… bla… bla… which caused me to think that the word is obsolete now. Which variant is correct, "the main idea was in the next: bla-bla-bla" or "the main idea was in next: bla-bla-bla?" What is the accepted custom regarding capitalization when it comes to "White" and "Black" when referring to race, whether they are being used as nouns or adjectives? Why did such and so happen? First, bla bla. Second, bla-pity bla bla bla. I'm thinking "secondly" would sound better. But if I use "secondly," do I have to use "firstly" -- which sounds so -- yuck. The tone of the piece of writing is medium formal. I mean, it's formal, but not formal at the level of a brief submitted to the Supreme Court.
