STOP "...a person who is..."

You all know what I mean. We've heard it everywhere, the superfluous separation of one from the descriptor. "I am a person who is looking for love."-Carrie Bradshaw, SITC. WTF? "I am looking for love." Think about it, we are hearing and seeing this more and more. Coaches-"He is a player we depend on in blah blah..." We depend on him. He is clearly not a waterboy you depend on. Excessive verbiage to remove one's self from directly addressing the described person, whether one's self or another. It is sort of a refusal to take responsibility. For example: "I am a person who is annoyed by careless use of language." It is as if to say, I can't help it, I am a person like this.

I am annoyed by careless use of language. There. Isn't that simple?
