If you were given the chance to delete a word from the dictionary....
If there was an option to delete a word from the dictionary. I believe I would love to delete the word "Why". The only word that bothers me is 'WHY.' Why is the most frustrating word for me. And it always bothers me until I find the answer. Which word upsets you the most?
Here’s a few lines dedicated to the word ‘Why’ but still I would love to delete it because it causes tension
“The word that brings everything to question,
Possibly, a big reason to many inventions ” ~ Misbah
Which word would you love to delete if you were given the opportunity to delete a word from the dictionary....
Thank you so much!
I like this question as it promotes two kinds of thought. One a passing glance while the other pensive. At first from a tad of emotion I thought tobacco with all its connotations and then cancer. Yet, after a good nap and a peek at Google University I see tobacco does have medicinal value. hmmmm . . .
Just now pondering your word - why, I decided I would say, Because is my choice.
Misbah. Thank you for the interesting question. I have thought about this carefully, and you may think my answer is a joke, but I assure you I am being serious.
The word I would most like to delete from the dictionary is: "diarrhoea."
It doesn't matter how many times I write it (countless sick notes supposedly by my mother so I could get out of school lol) I still have to look up the spelling in the dictionary every time...I cannot for the life of me memorize it! Overall, I just find it a very "shitty" wordVery Interesting answer. Ha Ha!
John, do you really want to delete this word? Lol!!
Diarrhoea is an alternative form of diarrhea. Right?
You made me laugh so hard that my cheeks hurt. Lol!!
With a lot of stress on the word 'WHY' : Why don't you try writing it as diarrhea?
See 'why' struck again, which is why I just don't like the word "why."
I really enjoyed your answer. Thank you for putting a smile on my face. Stay cheerful
Blessings always!!John, leave it to you. That's the best reply that I've seen yet!
Ravi, I read it somewhere else on web before that the word 'maybe' is a loser’s word but I personally think that sometimes this word also gives us a little hope.
I believe, there are too many questions, and too many maybes. Thank you so much for your kind response.
Blessings to you!
I can say it
Anyway, it's not a dictionary word, it's a place name.
I suggest 'Covid'.It is nice to see your response. Covid should be removed but not just from the dictionary
Peace and Blessings!
Ha, Ha . . . I was thinking Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious, but it is way too much fun, fun, fun
Good one. If I remember my high school drama class, we were taught that there was no such word in the English language. That it was a made up word because of the rhythm. I guess the songwriter took poetic license with it.
Just imagine how tough that word would be to spell for someone suffering from that lung disease. It should be removed. Very fantastic idea.
The name of the place is also extremely long; I'm wondering if people in Wales say it or if they've found an alternative name for that place.
Thank you so much for your very interesting response
Blessing to you!!Llanfair PG
Yes, easier for the poor English folk
Did you know, all Brits spoke a version of Welsh back in the day? It's fascinating.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brittonic_languages
What is its English translation? I'm just curious
“The Church of St Mary in the hollow of the white hazel near the rapid whirlpool and the church of St Tysilio near a red cave”
It was a made-up name in the 19th century because the village wanted to have the longest name. It was a publicity stunt. The original village name was Pwllgwyngyll, which means 'the pool of the white hazels'.
The railway station was called 'Llanfair', so they added all the rest of the name to it.
And if you are wondering where all the vowels are 'w' (oo) and 'y' (uh or ih) are vowels in Welsh
Hi Eric,
Here’s something interesting. Please see number 28.

Thank you so much for your interesting response.
Sending Blessings!
All inventions and discoveries are products of “why, so you shouldn't delete it.
Yes, the world has made many big discoveries and inventions because of the word 'WHY' like I want to discover : why you deleted your previous comment on this forum?
Now again this question with the word 'Why' will keep me irritating that "Why" you did so? Please take some time to answer
