Words To Avoid In An Argument

Missing image

by Gregg Rowe



If there is not an
except

there will always be a but;

sometimes there is an except and a
but

-- yet could also be confusing

  • Sounds like some sage advice from one who 'knows the ropes' in verbal sparing. Well done, write on!

    Amen!

    Hello, darling Gregg. I have chosen you and this poem for my entry in the Poetic Bandits' Merry-go-Round contest! Why? Well, because I love you and have missed you AND because I really like this poem. Well done with a lot of wisdom!

    Much luv & hugs, SisBon

    OMG~


    so with a *but*
    one can sometimes accept- *except*
    the unacceptable
    *yet* be confused in the process
    *but* what about *however*-

    Love this and so needed the chuckle-
    and I avoided my while reading this
    Keep that quill dancing my Friend!
    Thank You for sharing Your Humor and Spirit~
    Many blessings to You in all You do Sweet Soul
    Best wishes too
    with much love & light~ Desire~*~

      However is an introduction to a compromise: these are the three words that stop an argument in its track and anger rises amongst the participants. If someone is saying "however" to me, they are opening the door to see another perspective on the situation. "Yet", doesn't fit into the category of "however", "yet" is just another way of saying "but" or "except".

      Miss you too, with more energy coming back I hope to entertain us for ahile more.

    I think you might also tell us what we should say, want words are good words to use, like, 'I was wrong' or something.

    Confused yet? Inspiration.


    In the world of excuses
    they proide open doors
    for escape. "Yet" refuses
    to be denied "evermores."


    My verse for the day.
    Good to see you back!
    Much more YET to say
    but it's time I lack!

    Terry
