Here is a word that is very dangerous: S H O U L D. I humbly suggest it be immediately banned from the English Language.
Naturally, it would completely destroy the majority of left wing ideology (give it a go - explain WHY progressive tax is fair without the word "should") and social engineering would be stopped dead in its tracks. But it goes deeper than that. The word is just plain dangerous.
This is not a case of "we should ban it", it is a situation where it MUST be banned. You know I make sense.
And Antarctic Lemur and Dr Phil were both very suspicious of the use of the word "But". Yes, but....essentially means "disregard everything I say before the but, and accept everything I say after the but.
Capice? You should just say yes - no buts, no maybes.
