The Issue With The Use Of "Most". by phoenixthefirst(m): 10:03am On Jun 06, 2017
I have observed that on a number of threads(I noticed this in the Romance section), the word "most" is used erroneously. How? For a thread that has no research to back it up, if the OP of the thread does include the word "most", it makes the thread fallacious. Using most even in other situations without any evidence backing the situations up makes the situations very flawed.

By using the word without any research backing it up, the user runs the risk of being perceived as inadvertently pained. This can be seen in a number of threads on Nairaland in which a moniker will use the word in the the title of a thread to speak ill of members of the opposite sex, usually after a member of the opposite sex had created an upbraiding thread about their own sex.

By using the word without a corroborating research, the user runs the risk of being seen as intellectually shallow. If you are not shallow intellectually, you will be very careful about using the word without a supporting research as your intelligence should tell you it is wrong to use the word carelessly.

It is even possible that your use of the word is right if a research is carried out to descry if it is. But without the research, it makes your work fallacious, intellectually shallow and makes you seem in some cases, pained.

PS: If there is no research backing your work up, use the word "some" instead of "most".
