Submitted by ub on

Almost: This is a seemingly innocuous word that we use all the time: "I'm almost finished." "I'm almost there." "I almost submitted my application to my dream company."

I didn't realize this word was a problem, until a speaker I was listening to pointed out that "almost" implies not going all the way. And it's true. Whenever I say I "almost" did something — the truth is I didn't. I didn't finish, I didn't arrive, I didn't submit my application to my dream company.
