Six Words To Eliminate from Your Vocabulary:

1. Just: Used to describe something that recently happened. Listeners want more specific, such as one hour ago
2. Should: Automatically suggests regret or worse yet, it hands over obligation
3. But: Reflects on objections, contrast and the negative
4. Always: Completely takes away the idea of change
5. Actually: Leads to bad communication because it suggests surprise. Can kill a positive statement. Example: "He actually passed his test."
