I don't know why but I have recently developed a dislike of the word 'just'.
Not in it's adjective form - when you are just in something or something is deemed to be just.
Not like that - I don't like the word just as an adverb - I was just doing this or it was just like that. He was just this, that or the other
I don't know why I have developed this dislike - but it does come with its pros and cons.
I have realised that I use the word 'just' as adverb quite a lot when I'm writing - I still do. That is a problem when you suddenly can't stand the word.
On the plus side this does mean that whenever I feel myself typing/writing the word 'just', I stop. I think about what I want to say and either think of a different word to use, or delete it altogether.
I hate the adverb 'just'. That's *just* the way it is. (ARGGHHHH!!!!)
