I'm going to warn people that they may not want to continue to read this edition of my blog. For one thing the topic I am addressing is an issue that I feel needs to be dealt with using some vigor. In this way, I can shake off all the times I have to hear or read it. It's also a way for me to put other people on notice that I don't appreciate it. At least those people who continue to read.
Yes, I do say my attitude is my decision when I hear or read this, however I am going to go one step further and make this post.
Alright enough for the build up, here it is. I am really dismayed at hearing or reading, "but." In my experience over the past 22 or so years paying attention to the use and context of this word, I am beginning to actually dislike hearing or reading it. Yes, yes, you say, "what about your attitude is you decision?" That is true it is and I have been able to get past the word "but" when it crops up.
Now is my time to just say, "stop people stop already." I will never get tired, upset or angry about it, that's not the point.
Having said that it would be nice to just not have to read or hear it for a few days. I feel like TTL is a sanctuary, a peaceful place to get away from all that batters us on a daily basis. I am placing out some fencing to show where the boundary's of my peaceful little TTL garden are. Just stop with the "but's" already.
If you didn't like this post I warned you at the beginning. Some of us have to say in our head, "My attitude is my decision" every time we read or hear the word but.

Just get your but out of here!!!
Although
I am not conscious of using that word, although I suppose I may unconsciously. Coach mentioned this in a past secton, it tends to lead up to an excuse, so good point to watch one's language, it's so common, guess I'll find a substitute, although is that just as bad ?
