If you could permanently ban a word from general usage, which one would it be? Why?
I would ban should because no matter how you use it, it makes you or someone else feel bad.
I should have married someone different.
I should have taken a different route.
You should eat better and exercise more.
I should have yelled less.
I could go on and on.
I wouldn’t ban it only because I feel that only by “choosing something ourselves” will we actually learn more and live a better life! But I totally understand your desire to rid the world of this word! Thanks!
