Have you even noticed them yet?

Distractions are what I’d blame if you asked me why I haven’t written any blog for such a long time. But that’d be me just making an excuse.

There’s work and there’s personal life, and between that, there’s still a lot of time that goes wasted.

The 6 Most Cringeworthy Terms I’ve Come Across

Words hold a special place in our world. They’re the building blocks of language, and by extension our culture. Arguably, they’re one of the most powerful tools ever invented by humans.

Without words we wouldn’t be here today, and you wouldn’t be reading this anyway. To a large extent, the way our languages are shaped defines our culture.

That’s one of the reasons why I pay attention to the trending terms. It helps me judge myself and those around me better.… » click to continue reading “The 6 Most Cringeworthy Terms I’ve Come Across”
