in my opinion
As I see
A phrase that frames a statement as the speaker's personal view rather than established fact: In my opinion, the sequel was better than the original.
It signals that others might reasonably disagree.
Often abbreviated IMO in casual writing.
The phrase can soften strong claims or, paradoxically, introduce pronouncements the speaker considers obviously correct.
