Words are funny things. On one hand, they can mean the world to someone, or they could tear someone to shreds. Yet, the meaning of our words are purely based on the meaning we (and the ominous "they" of society at large) assign to them. Just the other night one of my roommates got this funny look on her face and then she burst out asking, "Where did we get the word 'please'? I mean, does it even have a root?" We both thought about it for a moment and then began pondering whether it was a request or plea, or if it was rooted in pleasure.
My point is, words are simply words and only you and God can decide the impact words will have on your life. My advice would be to speak lovingly, listen patiently, and let every word you speak or think be a prayer to/conversation with God - the one who will always hear you out and understand exactly what your words mean.
<3 Stay excellent
