1. Instead of saying you are lying say THIS IS NOT TRUE 2. Instead of saying this post is fake say ARE YOU SURE OF THIS? 3. Instead of saying you are wrong say THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE 4. Instead of saying you will be punished say THERE ARE CONSEQUENCES TO THIS 5. Instead of saying I am talking and you are not paying attention say I WILL LIKE TO GET YOUR ATTENTION 6. Instead of saying I don’t have your time say I WILL LIKE TO END THE CONVERSATION NOW 7. Instead of saying what you are saying does not make sense say IS THERE ANY OTHER OPTION THAN THIS? 8. Instead of saying what you are doing is bad say THIS BEHAVIOR IS INAPPROPRIATE 9.Instead of saying this child is a slow learner say THIS CHILD IS AN UPCOMING LEARNER 10. Instead of saying ” get out from here” say PLEASE IT WILL BE APPRECIATED YOU LEAVE THIS PLACE. #9jatrendingnews https://9jatrendingnews.com/2019/04/18/civil-ways-to-communicate-pragmatics/ 55 Likes 12 Shares |

I don't quite agree with most. Why should I mince my words? For clarity sake, I'll rather go with the "unacceptable". 1 Like |

And the social engineering process continues... These days, it is no longer appropriate to call a spade a spade. One can no longer say what he really has in mind just because he's bound to offend some people. It's okay. So my dear obese ladies out there, you guys are now curvy which is sexy, so there's really nothing to worry about now. 1 Like |
