"That being said"

[sowhen]

Has anyone noticed this phrase becoming more and more common?

I notice it mostly on here, but I did get an email containing it this week.

It really winds me up, which I know is irrational.

What other phrases have come and gone on here?

Agreed, the phrase is “that said”, not “that being said”.

I think it’s an Americanism.

I've never really noticed "that said" being used to the same extent, or "having said that".

I suppose it's just like anything that I feel is overused. The more I see it the more it annoys me. Like "touch base" or "reach out".

This is just the most recent.
