I found these on Twitter:
"I'm quite content with the life I have right now. Or rather, my lack of one."
【my life→事後訂正: my lack of a life】
"It’s amazing how things going back, or rather adjusting to the new normal and getting our livelihood back, seems more in sight. I’m excited."
【things going back →事後訂正: adjusting to the new normal】（They say things will never be the same again after the covid pandemic.）

@us4gi oh right, I didn't realize that. I thought they said an example sentence with 'with' or 'rather' 😌

@us4gi By the way, is “or rather” used for irony ways? Do you use the phrase often?
- English (US)
It can be used in an ironic or a sarcastic way. I would say it's used fairly often.
