"I'm sure we all agree.", I recall a corporate fuehrer saying in a board meeting. Trying thereby to shut up any hope of debate! That is how groupthink establishes.

It's not so much choice of word that's problematic. The English language is a mongrel (hybrid). And so it has many equivalent loanwords. If I say vermillion when meaning red, is not so important. What can be a hassle, though, is personal insult (attack). So "That's @#%^!", isn't helpful. Whereas "I disagree, because....", is more conducive to discussion.

In Arabia, the groundwater had been deposited in a prior era. And it was extracted, but not replenished. That is, water was a mined, finite resource!

While touring northern India, I had massages. The ayurvedic masseurs covered me in green herbal slop! In Rishikesh, Uttar Pradesh, a heavy-handed guy massaged me brutally.

Your profile is blank. I understand that Australia's National Party equates Yankistan's Republican Party. And the Aussie Liberal party is like the Yank Democratic party. So which ever way America elects, the result is always like the Aussie Coalition!

My father told me of his brother's dream. That man was due to play rugby for London Irish. But he dreamed that he was scoring the winning conversion for Ireland. Thus he dislocated his knee in bed!
