The "R" Word And Why it Needs to Stop

If you had read my blog last week, you probably saw my little lecture about the word "Nice" and why I hate it. Well, the next word on my hit list happens to be the word "Right". Not the term in which I mean the direction of things, the term I mean is, "in conformity with fact, reason, truth, or some standard or principle; correct: the right solution; the right answer" I have a HUGE problem with this word. Don't ask me why. My sister just happened to point out that every time I teach I begin to explain my point and at the end of each sentence I say "right". So I guess this is more of a personal matter, but I thought it would be interesting all the same, right!

The "R" word happens to be used in a lot of different ways. I am looking through the list now and it's just occurred to me how often we use it without even realizing it.

Have a look for yourself by going to this link.

I guess what I am trying to say this time is to try and listen to yourself as you talk and point out to yourself how often you use the same words. If you can't do it, ask someone to listen to you speak and see what they have to say. I started doing it the other week and that's why I am posting these little rants because it helps me to expand my vocabulary by looking up other meanings!

So give it a shot and see what comes out!
