There's a word like overprotective to describe some parents, but no word that means the opposite. What word do you use to describe parents who don't protect enough? Underprotective? Neglectful? Self-involved? Lame? All of the above.

R. J. Palacio

I believe that should is one of the most damaging words in our language. Every time we use it, we are, in effect, saying that we are wrong, or we were wrong, or we're going to be wrong. I would like to take the word should out of our vocabulary forever and replace it with the word could. This word gives us a choice, and we're never wrong.

Louise Hay

You know, Obama says we can't use the word "terrorism." We can't use the word "foreign." We can't use any of these provocative words that insult them. "Islamic terrorism" is a phrase not permitted to be used by the US government.

Rush Limbaugh

Never use a metaphor, simile, or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print. Never use a long word where a short one will do. If it is possible to cut a word out always cut it out. Never use the passive voice where you can use the active. Never use a foreign phrase a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

George Orwell

I was trained as journalist never to use the word 'I,' never to put my own opinion there. In fact, if you had a dollar or a euro for every time I use the word 'I,' you would be a poor person. But this is not true in general. I like the idea of being able to stand away and make a judgement.

Suzy Menkes

'Easy' is not a word I would ever use to describe touring.

Rivers Cuomo

I guess I would use one word to describe myself: determined.

Timothy Weah

I might not be able to use the word "hope," but I could certainly use the word "optimism." I'm very optimistic. I don't feel that it helps to be pessimistic. At some point in my life I made a conscious decision that I would try to be optimistic - not blind to anything at all - but to always hear the way that had the best chance for happiness.

Louise Erdrich

These names: gay, queer, homosexual are limiting. I would love to finish with them. We're going to have to decide which terms to use and where we use them. For me to use the word 'queer' is a liberation; it was a word that frightened me, but no longer.

Derek Jarman

Stubborn isn't a word I would use to describe myself; pigheaded is more appropriate.

Michael Bloomberg

I think "immoral" is probably the wrong word to use...I prefer the word "unethical."

Ivan Boesky

I don't use the word 'pressure.' I use the word 'expectation.' I have very high expectations of myself. It starts with me.

Daunte Culpepper

What drove me and kept me going over the decades? If I had to use a single word, it would be 'curiosity.'

Eve Arnold

What drove me and kept me going over the decades? If I had to use a single word, it would be 'curiosity.

Eve Arnold

If I were to try to describe the way in which I write, the only word I would use without qualification is 'slowly.'

Mal Peet

I use the word totally too much. I need to change it up and use a word that is different but has the same meaning. Mitch do you like submarine sandwiches? All-encompassingly.

Mitch Hedberg
