A Word that I Really Don’t Like

There are a lot of words that I don’t like: moist, swum, smelly…but there is one word I really don’t like: hate. Of course, most people will agree that hate is not a nice word; however, I find myself cringing at the word. The word ‘hate’ is commonly used in politics and arguments, but it is also thrown around in everyday conversation. “I hate the weather today.” “I hate that color.” “I hate her hair like that.” The word ‘hate’ carries a lot of weight, and I don’t like hearing it, even if it is just in reference to a movie or a color.
