General Semantics - Practical skills you can use today.

1. Speak from the first-person-perspective. If you non-question verbiage starts with "you", "they", "he", "she", etc., you messed up. Start with "I".

2. Lots and lots of words are relational. Relational-words, much like our basic math operators (+, -, etc.) have requirements. Just like saying "1 +" is non-sense, so too is using a relational word without fulfilling its requirements. An example of a relational-word is "essential". Saying "essential workers", is non-sense. Essential for what? Under what conditions? As decided by whom?

Good-luck, and good-bye.
