Meerkat Prompts: Giving up a Word
If you had to give up one word that you use regularly, what would it be?
Am I guilty of over-using any particular words? Probably. With a lot of internal work emails, I start out with a ‘howdy’. I don’t know how I came to use howdy instead of hi or hello, but somehow I am a howdy person. It would be easy enough to give up, though I rather like using howdy. It’s a little different to the norm in these parts.
Other than that, I don’t even know what words I regularly use, aside from the stuff that everyone uses in their daily lives. I can’t easily give up using the word, ‘the’! That would be tricky. It would also make for some potentially weird sentences.
I wish I could spin this prompt into a larger post, but I cannot find the words (heh) to do so. I guess if I had to, I’d give up my howdys, but not today!
