How to use "Hardly ever" in context?
When I was younger, I would say "hardly ever" when asked how often I would do something. I would always try to make it seem like it was a huge commitment to do something, when really, it was hardly ever. As I've gotten older, I've realized that it's important not to say things that you can't or won't actually do. Saying "hardly ever" is a classic example of this. Saying you'll do something rarely, but not never, is a better commitment. Saying you'll do something only a few times a year is also better than never saying anything at all.
