Choose your words carefully

Choose your words carefully.
It is all too easy to substitute profanity when the scope of ones vocabulary and mental prowess is limited. May I suggest folks try using words and phrases that actually express the thoughts being communicated. Anger, alcohol and just plain ignorance account for the majority of short cuts in the use of profane verbal genre..
If you read between the political lenes ther are countless examples of “choosing words carefully.” In most cases the choice of a word or the structure on an answer are intentetionally formed to mislead. In listenoing to polititions is it rare to get an answer to a question with a difinitive “yes” or “no.” Doing so would leave the respondent to commiting to a definitive position. It seems to me that most polititions would rather stradle the fence. There are but a few occasions when we get an absolute answer. One that is clear and concise.
By the way; I am not on any pedelstal of grammar excelence. I too find myself falling of the language cliff all too often.
The English language is a complex collection of words and definitions and colloquial replacements, use them wisely and understand them thouroughly.
