I would have to disagree with part of that... I think it's pretty darn common for normal people to say things like "I always read the paper, I always go to church, I always take out the trash" and not actually mean it literally, when I hear a statement like that I assume that the "almost" part is implied. I know I have said things like that... but then again, I've never claimed to be a normal person :P
