On "interesting"

This past weekend, my partner ridiculed me for saying "interesting" all the time.

"You need better adjectives," she said.

I gave it some thought and realized how right she is. "Interesting" is uninteresting, or uninterested. It is verbal cover for when I haven't cared to invest any thought in something, or when I don't fully understand something such that I can be more precise in description.

I have officially launched a campaign to eliminate "interesting" from my speech and writing. If you see any rogue uses slip in, feel free to call me on it.
