Little Miffs

You may see me smiling all the time, but like all people, I do have things that annoy me. These are some of those things:

1. The usage of highfaluting words
  • They are not bad when used in the proper context. Use them sparingly though as they are major turn-offs to most readers. Don't try to sound smart by using them; you may actually be sounding dumber than you think. That highfaluting word may be a synonym of that ordinary word, but it may not mean the same thing.

    2. The "birds of the same feather flock together" syndrome.
  • This isn't bad per se. However, when you know that one bird is doing a wrong thing, you mustn't continue supporting that bird even if you are friends, have the same gender, etc. You must help him correct that wrongdoing of his.

    3. One-man groupwork.
    Pretty self-explanatory. However, this is different from one trying to "solo-flight" everything.
