Mark Twain once observed that "the difference between the right word
and the almost-right word is the difference between lightning and a
lightning bug." It is never appropriate to use profanity, especially
among people you do not know well. Instead, build your vocabulary by
reading and studying so that you can express yourself simply and
eloquently. When you expand the number of words you know, you also
expand your mind, because understanding the words and their meanings
necessitates understanding the concepts behind them. Make sure you allow
time each day for study and reflection of words, but actions speak for
themselves.
