Quit Being Wishy-Washy

Wishy Washy

When expressing your opinion, it’s common to start each thought with “I think…” instead of making a real statement.

If you’re writing it, you’re thinking it. We get it. All this does is make you sound uncertain, and discourage firm stances.

Kick this habit quickly by programming your computer’s text expansion program to replace the word “think” with “I DO NOT THINK, I KNOW.”

Need a text expander?

(If you ever genuinely need to type the word ‘think’ you can type ‘thik’ and go back and add the ‘n’ which won’t trigger the text expansion.)

Heh heh, clever use for an expander. :D

Another text expander for Windows is my app, Breevy (http://www.16software.com/breevy)

It’s in active development right now and I’ve got a lot of cool features planned. Just included a huge Typo AutoCorrection list the other day, actually.
