I am a writer ( in development), a teacher and A Toastmaster, I love words and language, perhaps too much so, and I use for too many of them when I TRY to make a point. Being brief and being simple and direct just, too often, is NOT Johnny!
I do find that the bravest and most powerful word in our English Language is the Word "NO". It can signify disagreement, that you believe that someone, something or some location or circumstance is unsuitable, incorrect or needs to be better adjusted or prepared. It can serve as a challenge to injustice and wrong doing. It can be a refusal to cooperate, be obedient or be submissive and subservient.
No is both a compact, blunt and very clear.
