I often see here the phrase: 'Just my two cents'.

What I *think* this means, is: "This is my contribution. It may not be
much, and it may even be wrong; but it's real -- I've thought about it,
and I'd defend its reality."

However, how it's often used is: "This is what I think. It may be only
my opinion, but, hey, my opinion here is as good as anyone else's."

I think this is a mistaken use of the phrase.

Am I wrong?

Tony
