Use Your Words Effectively or be “Very” Unremarkable

June 29, 2016 by GµårÐïåñ
I have always been an advocate for using language to its fullest potential. One of the things I have hated all my life is having to dumb down what you want to say and using smaller or more common words so that you can be sure the other person gets what you are saying. Another peeve is when people don’t review or proofread what they write. I find no excuse sufficient for not reading what you wrote and make sure its correct. Be it grammar, spelling, spacing, formatting, or even something as simple as repeating yourself without realizing it realizing it – see what I mean?

So you can imagine when I came across this infographic about alternatives to using the commonly abused word – “VERY” – and all the alternatives to say it better; I was more than excited to share it. So without further ado, drum-roll please …

Facebook i have made a personal choice after their "name policy" witch hunt which repeats every 2 years it seems at the whim of the "bully mob" (even when they make you jump through hoops and verify you), to just quit it and be done with it, they are not worth my time. I don't need it, I don't miss it, in fact it has made my life more productive and void of gross hate, vitriol and drivel. To those who say they can't stay in touch if I am not on there, if you can't reach me because I am not on Facebook, then you are not trying AT ALL - therefore, good riddance.
