I had a speaking coach tell me once to never say "I think..." or "I feel.." but instead to say "I believe." The theory is 'think' sounds similar in meaning in English to 'guess' so it seems wishy-washy, 'feel' seems passive and weak (like you suggest in your post), whereas 'believe' is difficult or impossible to argue against. After all, no one can debate what you believe (beliefs are very personal), they find it difficult to negate directly due to the grammar ( "No you don't believe that...I mean you shouldn't believe that...I mean..ugh!"), and it is a sturdy self centered comment.

I believe I will have some more coffee now. :)

I like that. I am changing my word choice from "think" to "believe." Although, I could argue "believe" too. I believe the earth is flat. Um, well.....

I came up with my words. Booger and caca. Both terribly gross. And someone just used the word booger on the phone with me. A professional business person. DISGUSTING.

I also don't like people add letters or sounds to words (like say acrossed instead of across-ummm that isn't a word). And I really dislike when people spell things wrong, especially in something that was obviously paid to be printed or produced. Spell check people!
