Word.

Lately if you noticed, I started the challenge to have one word updates for my Facebook status updates. Perhaps it is an idea from Him to help me because I am causing myself trouble for my outspokenness.

I think it's an interesting thing. I still have my blog to vent and also Twitter if I need a longer sentence to vent. Heh. There's a time when I thought venting through blog isn't so good an idea anymore because who knows who are reading them.

Well, one word can speak a lot of things. (This is a linguist and a literature person talking. Haha)

English is a unique language. One single word has lots of connotations, has lots of meanings and can imply a lot. More words will give more details about a certain thing which will narrow down the numerous possibilities imagination can bring.

One single word is powerful. :)

Besides, it can be so ambiguous, one cannot be certain what it means at all. So the "perasan" people will not "terasa" and lots of conflict can be avoided. If that person is so "perasan" until they think the word actually points to them, then it is pretty obvious who are the ones who is having a problem - the writer or the reader.

So yeah. Kena berjaga-jagalah.
