Blog Post: Moist

I don't understand why people hate the word "moist" so much. Sure, it's not the most pleasant sounding word, but there are several other words in the world that invoke a much larger feeling of discomfort. I feel like a lot of words make me annoyed, along with many other things. Moist is actually a good word for describing something. I would rather say moist than have to say "damp" which grosses me out even more than moist. As for quench, my least favorite word, I have no idea why you would say it when a word like "parched" exists and sounds nice.

  1. I very much agree with this. Everyone says that they hate this word, and I have never understood why people thought that because it is a very common word, and it is easy to describe things with. There are many other terrible words in the English language. It is not too unpleasant on your ears, and it can be used for many purposes. People should not be so judgmental of a single word
