Give up one word

A few weeks ago, we had to write a post about a word we feel is overused.  I chose “whatever.”  That would be the word that I would give up.  Instead of dismissing the person with a “whatever,” I would carefully choose my wirds and say what it is I really feel or choose to express.  Saying whatever ends the conversation and means you don’t say what you really feel.  I don’t like confrontation,  but Saying whatever is not the answer  creating more conflict than it solves.  I know I have a good vocabulary so I would carefully choose my words instead of saying whatever.
