Okay Im still new here and the last thing I want to do is cause arguments but I feel I can express my opinions here. I hate a certain word and it is not even a swear word. In fact I can handle swearing but when I hear this word I cringe. It is the word WEAK. The other spelling I can handle because it is a totally different meaning. The word WEAK to me has always been a nasty word. Maybe to me just because of the way it sounds. I would rather someone use the word TIRED. While it is not totally the same meaning it somewhat is. Weak basically sounds worthless or hopeless and I can't stand it when I hear it in songs. Again that is just me. Tired doesn't have a hopeless or worthless feeling attached to it. I must be a first to hate this word. But maybe not. Okay I just needed to get this off my chest.

Aside from being discouraging, "weak" is a truthful, and sometimes deceptive word. It is used by the arrogant and the modest alike. It describes the physical and the intangibles so it is a useful word. Finally, it takes a person with a lot of strength to admit his/her weaknesses.
What's there not to like about the word again? |
