    Most widely used English word

    Folks, any thoughts on which is the most widely used English word on a daily basis?? Infact this word can be used in almost all types of situations like sad, angery etc Let's see how many know of this word :??

    I will post an interesting link on saturday which will reveal this word (if no one finds out by then)

    Word tics are common. I hate hearing speakers using 'you know' at the end of every phrase. Other common word tics are 'actually' and 'basically'. I was taught to try to avoid using the same word twice in a paragraph.

    It's "I" or "the" or "me". That's all the bases covered, now for a 'wacky' suggestion. Hmmm... Seems to me it might be re-dispense. lol

    Getting interesting yeh !!! More creativity please You will love it when I publish the link and also you will laugh your lungs out when you know how creatively we use this word even without the word having its real use or real meaning being used in the sentence. Ok enough of hints, now atleast anyone can guess ???
