“Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say ‘infinitely’ when you mean ‘very’; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.”
This is something I’m terrible at. I didn’t realize how much I relied on such phrases such as “this is the best(worst)thing EVER!” and “this is the <insert adjective> thing in the WHOLE WORLD!” to convey my emotions. I knew they were not accurate, it never really bothered me. I have now come the realization that I am capable of stating my opinions without resorting to cliches and hyperboles.
It’s time for me to say what I mean and mean what I say.
I’m like this in every aspect of my life- such an extremist. In fact, I might post about this today.
BEST post EVER!
hehe jk….it is true though; I think many of us are guilty of this.
And don’t you change a thing…..
I do this all the time. I’m such an exaggerator. I kind of like it that way though
Thanks for commenting on my site!
Thanks all! I’m very glad to know that I’m not alone in this one and it’s not as obnoxious as I imagine it is. Well, at least not to my mom anyway, and we all know that mom’s aren’t biased in any way so it must be true…
