Words hold immense power, shaping emotions, relationships, and even the course of history. Words can heal, inspire, or destroy, while silence can be profound or isolating. A kind word can mend hearts, while cruel words leave lasting wounds. Words can cut deep or comfort gently. A single phrase can start wars or bring peace, proving their dual nature.
Words preserve culture, knowledge, and identity. Without them, history fades, and civilizations lose their essence. The whole life on Earth is influenced by words. They create laws, spread ideas, and connect humanity. Whether written, spoken, or left unsaid, words define reality.
Used wisely, they uplift; used recklessly, they destroy. The true power of words lies in how we choose to wield them.
So, There’s no need to ban words, but some are so often misused that they can be annoying! Here are a few words that people frequently use incorrectly,
1. Literally – Often used when people mean “figuratively.” (“I was literally dying of laughter!” No, you weren’t.)
2. Irregardless – People use this instead of “regardless,” but “irregardless” is technically redundant.
3. Disinterested – Means “impartial,” but being not much interested in real words, people often use it to mean “uninterested.”
4. Unorganised – Means “disorganized,” but people commonly forget to get organized and use correct word.
5. OK – Means “use whenever, whatever, and however” why because this word has become so accommodating and generous… We use it like salt. (This one is good read: https://www.merriam-webster.com/wordplay/the-hilarious-history-of-ok-okay)
