If you could wipe 3 words from existence, which would you choose?

Words that are hard to say. Irritating to spell. Or, just ones you really don't like. Here are mine:

  1. Worcestershire
  2. Rural
  3. Handkerchief

inevitable - I find this difficult to say without stumbling at the third syllable. So I just say "meant to be".

pickle - This confused me as a kid. I thought there was an actual vegetable called pickle.

And while we're at it: "vegetable". Just recently, I learned that it's not a "thing". I add it to the list for trivia and the LOLs. Here's an argument against the word "vegetable": [huffingtonpost.com.au]

Cecrete, fester and orifice

Sacha Level 7 Jan 21, 2018

@silvereyes Yes you definitely don't want anything festering and cecreting out of any of your orifices lol

Wait...do you mean secrete...?

@Neraven OMG! Thankyou! How embaressing

@Sacha Embarrassing* ;P

@Neraven Geezus, I am not doing to well am I? Blame it on just waking up before coffee 😉

  • "particularly" (I sound like I have a speech impediment whenever I say it)
  • "synergy" (It's such a jargon-y word)
  • "hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia" (Nah, I'm actually okay with that one, but it's funny so I included it)

@silvereyes "If you're afraid of big long words, here's one you should know-a: hippopotomonstrosesquippedaliophobia!" 😉

I'd get rid of
Black
White
Hispanic.

@silvereyes Exactly my point. I think the entire Identity Politics arguement is a complete waste of time.

As long I can call myself Latino, that is what I really am... knock yourself out. You must be yellow I reckon, I meant oriental.

@silvereyes on the absolute point!

@GipsyOfNewSpain Enlighten me on what you're actually saying - I think I get it, but I'm wildly unsure. kisses

@GipsyOfNewSpain actually, I am pinkish with brownish spots. Can't find that anywhere on the form...

@Dwight Black and White are colors found in a Crayola Box... hispanic? not in my Crayola Box. If you would had said brown... I would had said no comment but the racist always concerned how not to be seen as racist.

@Dwight It is never what you are in the outside is what you are in the inside. I wish I can continue but don't have time and you got to get working on those colors and 1 cultural group to remove from your life.

Hmmmm.

None. That's censorship. 😉

He's already gone but not forgotten.

I wasn’t aware of that, but I don’t listen to music I find offensive. @Dwight

Dysdiadochokinesia because I usually can't spell it, seriously, imagine you are dyslexic.
Micturate, becaise it is so much easier to just say P off,
Autistic because I don't believe in it, just because someone isn't neuro-typical doesn't mean they necessarily have problems, they merely sit somewhere different on the bell curve.

Well, it randomly refreshed so...fantastic. I have lost atleast a couple dozen job opportunities because of terror of phone calls. I am too honest and almost entirely oblivious to subtle cues. Cant handle bright liht (though also have blue eyes), loud and/or sudden sounds (hypervigilance also to blame), and need two feet around me around strangers - and if you hug me or touch just about anything other than my hand in a handshake or my shoulder or back in a brief and supportive gesture and youre not a close friend (or someone ive learned to tolerate like select family members), prepare for a very speedy withdrawal and/or awkward interaction, and also a pained look on my face. PTSD exacerbates the whole touching issue immensely though, im sure.

@Neraven I am severely dyslexic, and have been diagnosed with autism and yes I am well aware that my brain does not work the same as many, that I totally lack anything close to emotional intelligence and I apparently offend people often and usually unintentionally just through honesty. I don't hug anyone except my children, not even lady friends, people can read this readily enough and don't try to hug me. Yet I don't think I am flawed, just different.

I don't think it means one is flawed either - well i mean were all flawed technically. But not in a way that should make people revile or step on eggshells around us, of course. I think what youre saying simply comes down to cultural perception having coloured the word negatively, much like feminist.

Sorry bout that Jennifer.
