January 2 — Words I Resolve to Avoid for a While. Every person and every industry has overused words. Pick few and write about why they’re off your list for 2007.

"yes dear" - while this is stereotypically used by husbands to their wives, I use this too. And it probably sounds condescending. I resolve to avoid this phrase for awhile.


"huh?" - I confess, I hate it when other people use this grunt instead of saying, "i didn't hear you, please repeat." But i can't change the world, I can only change myself. So I will use words like, "pardon me?" and "Excuse me, could you repeat that?"
