Let us start our discussion by mentioning not to use idioms when dealing with officialdom.
For example, if a decision goes against a claimant, it is best for the person not to say "I will fight your decision" as it has the word 'fight' and it will not help if anyone tries to seize upon the word 'fight' and deem the claimant violent.
Am I exaggerating? Maybe. One cannot say for certain. But if one avoids ever using the word 'fight' or any word that by any stretch of the imagination could be used against one by an official then they can't do it.
Try to avoid the word 'you' unless you actually mean specifically the person or persons to whom you are talking.
I know that some people say 'you' when they should say 'the government'. I consider it best to say 'one' or 'someone' or 'a person'. If one means 'the government' say 'the government' not 'you'.
That way one avoids saying things like "When I said 'you' I didn't mean you you I meant ..." as some people do.
If one listens carefully to television news one may find it surprising how often people use 'you' and say 'you can't ...
Just because they do it does not require one to do it oneself.
I know what I am saying can be laughed at by some people and that I can be deemed to be pedantic, but I say precise, not pedantic.
I know that using 'one' can be deemed la-dee-da and pretentious and quaint by some people, but there we go. That, as the politicians say, is a matter for them.
I have found a good way to behave in life is to imagine, hypothetically, that it is mid-morning and one is trying to justify one's actions to a straight-faced High Court Judge who is listening to one's attempt to justify one's actions.
Try to imagine his or her likely reaction to what he or she is hearing.
Doing that thought experiment about something one is considering doing before doing it is a good self-protection strategy.
