Ladies and Gentleman your thoughts please. Many times the above words are used to address you and others and I want to know what your thoughts are when they do. How it is said is important too. Why it is said is appropriate as well as where it is said. I have seen these words used correctly and open doors and warm hearts
DEARIE...?
You can also take these words and add to them via enunciation and make them derogatory as well. The point is are these words when used correctly, in the moment acceptable to the receiver? How about to the giver or originator? Do they invoke or compliment?
CAN A STRANGER BE DEAR?
Furthermore, are these comments allowed in a business arena as well as in a personal environment? I know that there is no controversy in using them on people that you know. But how about people that you don't? Is it okay to cut corners and blurt out these affectionate sounding words?
THERE GOES A "DEAR" NOW
I have seen up close and personal women of all ages who just command these remarks to come to them. My wife definitely attracts the word dear as she resonates a sincere, guile-less and honest demeanor in all that she does. Not only do I find myself using "dear" on her, but other women give it to her freely....which raises another point too
MEN or WOMEN?
If we find that these words when used correctly are acceptable, can either men or women employ them freely...? I have often spoken of certain women referencing them as dear, sweet and lovely to others who readily agree.
WHAT IF IT IS USED ON YOU?
Should or can these words be allowed into the mainstream of personal or professional interaction without controversy?
