world's stage, but like Shakespeare—whether we've ever put pen to page, or fingers to keyboard, to spin a yarn or not—I believe we are all storytellers as well. As the oft-quoted dictum goes, knowledge is power, and stories, ab initio have been its modus operandi.

Studies over the use of extreme language have proven that extreme word choices can create many problems as well as solutions. Linguists don’t just believe in communication, they believe we use language to help construct or describe our view of reality. Extreme language features hyperbolas, exaggerations and dichotomous language; all of which can be used to shape and describe an experience in our lives or around us. (Meek W. 2011) In counselling, therapists identify the use of extreme language…
