What do these phrases have in common, and why you should avoid them?


Here’s the challenge. Identify what these phrases have in common (there are several things), and then, consider why these phrases should be dropped from your vocabulary. I’ll post the answers today or tomorrow.

  1. I’m so fed up.
  2. If you had more experience with this…
  3. How long have you been doing this? (that’s a tough one because context affects it)
  4. Why are you late again?
  5. If I hear you complain one more time, I’ll scream
  6. Every time I bring this topic up you change the subject

Again, what do they have in common? Why should you avoid them? Bonus question: what can you say instead?
