In my opinion, there are those with the opinion that stating anything as a fact and not an opinion is abrasive and rude. In my opinion, this opinion is absurd because it is fundamentally understood that anything that comes out of anyone's mouth is simply an opinion and not a fact. In my opinion, there may be some people with the opinion that people should not go around stating their opinions. But, in my opinion, everyone has opinions and it gets rather monotonous and boring to keep stating "in my opinion" all the time when, in my opinion, it should be understood that everything is an opinion.
In my opinion, people have opinions about lots of things that they consider facts. In my opinion, there are many that hold the opinion that the earth is round. But, in my opinion, this is simply an opinion as, in my opinion, there are others that hold the opinion that the earth is flat. In my opinion, this all depends on your opinion of the words "earth", "round" and "flat". In my opinion, if, in your opinion, the word "round" refers to a 2-dimensional circular object, then, in my opinion, your opinion would be that the earth is not round since, in my opinion, your opinion would be that the earth would be a sphere, and not round. Of couse, in my opinion, if your opinion was that a sphere is perfectly symmetrical such that all points on its surface are equal distance from its center, then, in my opinion, your opinion about the earth being a sphere might be wrong since, in my opinion, there are those that hold the opinion that the earth is not a perfect sphere but is actually a bit elliptical in shape. In addition, in my opinion, there are elevation variations on the surface of the earth as well which would mean that, in my opinion, the earth does not meet the definition of a sphere if your opinion is that a sphere means that all points on the surface of a 3-d object are equal distance from its center.
Now, of course, in my opinion, this is all just my opinion. But, in my opinion, the bigger concern here is that, in your opinion, are you happy now?
