Impactful

Some days. Some days are beautiful on the outside, but dark and stormy on the inside. How unfair is it that I had to sit and work on awful boring technical writing crap that contained the “word” impactful TWICE while outside the redbud and apple tree vied for the award of “most lovely.” And in true kindergarten spirit, redbud wins for “most impressive color” while apple tree wins for “best smell.”

I went with “influential” to replace “impactful.” Not quite the same meaning, but let’s not quibble and argue when you are obviously just using fake words to piss me off.

Plus now I’m way over my quota of quotation marks. Bah.

I don't think they're incenting your properly!

I'm sure you meant "their."
