Weasel words—defaults for bureaucrats and politicians—are qualifiers that nervous speakers and writers bank on for cover.
Avoid them, because the more you water down thoughts with weasel words, the less clear and certain your speech and writing become.
For example, instead of saying, IT possibly seems to have suggested that Aptly may no longer be supported after December 31, say IT may no longer support Aptly after December 31.
At the same time, avoid absolutes like always, never, will not, cannot and nothing is worse than.
Avoid statements like, Nothing is worse than displaying your password. Really? What about your company's recent job-cuts, the drought in California, or Syria's civil war?
