To think the word “indeed” is a normal word?

[aphen]

It’s not a posh or clever word at all. Why do some people think it is?

Who thinks that?

Indeed .

I use it . I am certainly not posh.

I couldn't be more working class and I use it all the time. Of course it's not posh

Indeed you are correct

I use it and I am not posh. It’s a perfectly normal word.

Of course it's a normal word.

My 3yo loves using it, it's really cute

A normal word you say? It is indeed ;)

Indeed it is a normal word and certainly not posh!

Eh?

Totally normal word. I did work with a man who replied to every single thing everyone ever said with ‘indeed’ which slightly put me off! In context it’s fine though.

Totally normal.
Also evidently and apparently so.

Indeed it is. I say it to my DD. We're definitely not posh. Who has suggested this? I suspect intellectual jealousy (or outright bitchiness).

It is, indeed.

Eh?

It is, but I think it's also regional. So people in some areas will use it all the time and others never.

My very working class grandmother used it a lot.

Oh do you, indeed?

Very much like that, Dry

I read somewhere that Spock uses the word when he’s confused by human habits and doesn’t know what to say. I’m also confused and uncertain in social situations, so I decided to adopt it. Seems to work well!

Indeed

I concur

Are you getting mixed up with 'deeds' like 'where are the deeds to all my land and manors'?, that would indeed be considerably more well-to-do!

What about "hence", is that posh or otherwise? I used it once in casual conversation and there was subsequently a bit of gentle mockery kinda thing going on. Ditto "parlance".

Never "indeed" though, that's a totally everyday word, mundane even.
