I always meet some people in my life, and they always change their words. I don't know which of what he said is true and which is false, so people say that this man likes to talk nonsense.

When we were young, we used correction fluid to correct typos. In fact, as early as ancient times, people began to use correction fluid.

He is talkative himself, but he has a bad habit, that is, he always likes to change the subject when talking to others. As he spoke, he felt that the previous sentence was not quite right, so he put it another way. If he keeps changing, others will think what he says is unconvincing.
