Should People Stop Saying “Absolutely” So Much? Absolutely! – A Short Rant on an Overused Expression and Why it Should be Avoided

[cuban leaf]

It is a strange paradox that in an age of relativism...

So, THAT’s been my problem all these years. I’m a black and white thinker and ABSOLUTELY support such thinking.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Absolutely!

Is Obama a radical Muslim?

ABSOLUTELY!

I’m noticing more and more words are becoming “irritating” to some people who see them as “over used”. The first such complaint that ever hit my radar was against the word “Awesome”.

I don’t buy it any more. Some people over-use a word, some people over-use a different word. Is it annoying? Absolutely! But what is more important is to not use the same word in the same paragraph, chapter, etc. i.e. the first time something is great, you say it’s great. The next thing you want to say is great should be called “wonderful”, etc.

I find more and more I use a thesaurus when posting.

I like the word absolutely. It says “not wishy washy” and in the case of my work, I have the hard evidence. Kind of a Perry Mason statement.

Without question, at the end of the day, absolutely absolutely should be put to bed.

What’s the most annoying overused word to start off a response? SO

[Codeflier]

Too much analysis.

It is just a way of saying an affirmative response.

Also, think about when people ask you “what is going on?” and you say “not much”, even when you are extremely busy. Also when someone says “how are you?” and you say fine, no matter how bad your day is.

[nuconvert]

How about not using the ‘much’ so much?

[defconw]

I absolutely agree with him! :) That word is getting annoying, especially when it's some little bubble headed newsette, who has really no clue what she's talking about.

Absotively posolutely!

It’s AWESOME that somebody is finally speaking up about adjective overuse.

[Billthedrill]

The world literally comes to an end when people misuse words like this. It is simply inconceivable that it could continue.

[Fresh Wind]

Absitively posolutely.

So when Monsignor Pope hears a confession and forgiveness is asked, are not the penitent’s sins forgiven, wiped away, blotted out, removed absolutely when Msgr. Pope pronounces the ABSOLUTION? Absolutely, they are.
