The Art of Language -- When Not to Use "Most" (An Short Piece by AIHUA)
In my post today, I used several "most's," the superlative form, to express a view.
When we express our emotion, it's fine to use the superlative form of an adjective as you like.
In the business world, however, care should be given when not to use it.
I'm a loyal disciple of Dale Carnegie, the Master of Communications. I learned from Mr. Carnegie early on that in business dealings, I should try to avoid using these words "ALL, MOST" etc.
For example,
Don't say: "All of our products are error-proof."
Instead, say: "Our products meet your high quality standard with few errors."
Don't say: "French is the most romantic language."
Instead, say: "French is one of the most romantic languages."
Got the idea?
