Actually

If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?

Actually, the word I should give up is, actually. I have actually developed of actually overuse it. Most of the time, I actually use it for emphasis that is actually unnecessary. Perhaps this exercise will make me sensitive to its overuse. Actually, I already feel silly.

  6. Actually, your post was great. Well, it was thought provoke and funny. And it for me thinking, which is a great way to start the day. And when I think about your great question, the one word that I’ve often thought I abuse is the word ‘great’. Everything isn’t really as great as I think it is, so I need to go to my thesaurus for a synonym. Thanks for making me think about this. It was a great…..er…stupendous question.

    • I ‘m glad I made you think. I’m always grateful when I am spurred to think. It gets me going for the day. I have embarrassed myself a few times, overusing a word. I like simplistic language but try to avoid the stale. Thanks for commenting and stirring my brain a bit.

  7. I don’t even want to say the word, it’s a bad one and I have to talk to God everytime I use it. I have no idea why it jumps out of nowhere sometimes but I don’t same it intentionally. Although I’m accountable. Fuck is the next word I could slow down on, I say it when I’m extremely frustrated or when I hurt myself. I’m a good person at heart but my mouth can get nasty. :(
