I’m sure I’ve posted my hate for this previously; with that being said, “with that being said” is the worst.
Ha, I use that quite a bit. Mostly as I am inundated with questions and I try and assuage whoever I am talking to that what they thought was the way things are, are in fact not that way.
You should endeavor to remove “being” from the phrase. Just an extra word that makes it passive voice and makes everything terrible. Being said? You just said it!
How about just "But ..."?
"With that being said" is terribly inefficient writing/speaking. It should never be put in writing, but I imagine people use it in speaking to buy a few more moments to collect their thoughts before proceeding.
FTR I definitely don't use it in emails or other such writing, it's pretty much just a verbal thing I do to, as mentioned, is just a phrase used to to let whoever is distracting me I
hear them but don't
care to hear them/reasoning for something. It almost always proceeded by "I understand what you're saying" or "I hear what you're saying" and a long list of confirming crap and then "
but with that being said do XYZ, not ABC."
I would totally understand it being a peeve though
