"Mam" it was my first word, is my favourite word ever, and my last word, because i luv that women and she's the first person in my life and i'm the first one in her life. She taught me life. She risked her life so many times. there's no other person as ur "mam"!

Which "n word" are you referring to? Not being a native speaker I cannot think of a word that might be offensive if used properly that starts with n. On the other hand I can think of quite a lot of absolutely harmless words that will be highly offensive with the right emphasis and facial expression - even polite words as "please" and "thank you" can transport an offense quite easily.\n\nBut YOU obviously think that this word is so bad that you don't even want to spell it out. It might tell more about your state of mind than the apparent negative semantics of the  discussed word.

i like bubo--the swollen lymph nodes you get with the bubonic plague.  it was VERY hard in my infectious disease class, i kept giggling every time he said bubo.  i won't pretend to know why i find this so funny.  my other favorite word is Trinidad.  a friend of mine and i used to always play pirates video games and trinidad became our "code word" for everything.  i miss you=trinidad, cheer up/i'm here for you=trinidad, i'm so happy=trinidad.  you get the idea.

Aggressive would be my first choice, because it include the same suffix (-ssive)\n\nAssertive, attacking are other possibilities.

Hello Saphire,\nI know you are not enquiring about the word rigorous (it in itself is a first rate word)  but other words you could use in place of it are also great words:\narduous\nmeticulous\n\nConsequential is a word I like to use in place of important.\nIntuitive is another favourite.\nI like to think of common words people overuse, then find a more interesting one to replace it with.\nWords are remarkable aren't they?

PD - LOL - I enjoy humor that involves "innocent" children and language.  \n\nUsing the term "period" as a euphemism could easily confuse a young child.  I personally prefer OTR.  In college (and later at work) whenever we females missed one and then later found it we would make a picture of a red flag waving and send it to the others who knew of our predicament.

I vote for emphatic British English , by FAR the most beautiful in my ears.  I just love the rhythm & cadence & intonation of strong British erudite English.  The formalism of it.is so charming.\ncoming in second place to me is the High-German language.   so forceful & direct & powerful.  Makes anything you say sound like a command.  German is a no-nonsense language ideal for military & discipline & command.  and I like that.  \n\nI find the Romance languages boring.  I am not interested in the so-called Mediterranean culture.  I was raised in so-called Eastern mediterranean culture & I didn't care for it.  \n\nI also am charmed by the sounds of Swedish,& Norwegian - also very partial to the sounds of Korean& japanese.& Russian.  I love the cadence & the way they resonate.   And I also am fascinated by the sound of the Greek language in songs & speeches.\n\nI'm sick &tired of hearing how great French & italian are.  I want to differ sharply from this.

Colour, favourite, darby (instead of derby), serviette instead of napkin, defence instead of defense.\n\n"I beg your pardon." instead of "What?"\n\nRead some English literature to help you.
