  6. Be specific. Clarity is necessary. Specifying things makes things easier to follow. It makes sure people know what to do and do it right. Being specific doesn’t leave things to interpretation and your ideas are rightly put across. A specific command is more likely to be followed to the letter than something that is left open to interpretation, in which case what we want may not be done.

  16. What’s so specific about what? I mean how can someone be more specific if there are infinite levels of details end you can go even more into detail about that? You can never be totally specific about something.

  17. i always ask people for specifics for why they make certain life choices. normally they end up answering that it was because of the way they were raised, or because of the community they know and love. Why aren’t there any specifics? Do people never back away from their own lives and imagine the possibilities if the world had been a tiny bit different?- ranging from living in a different street to another social class?

  18. Specific. Being specific is, well, being specific. You can’t be broad. You can’t be general. You have to pinpoint it down, narrow down the sub topics, and get down to the very middle of it. Be specific. Be clear. Let people know what you’re talking about. Nobody will know if you just point to anything. You must let them know that you’re talking about the blue short-sleeve tee shirt with sequins on the shoulder and an asseymetrical hem.

  26. Specifics were always difficult. For one reason or another, the words never really came to mind. You’d say something like, “You had to be there.” You’d say it often, too. Descriptions and details eluded like dry leaves in an autumn wind. A difficult burden to bare in the life of a writer.

    Cameron Hughes

  30. I think this is a really vague word. Like, it means something. You know? But all words mean something, I guess… Anyway, specific is when you’re specifying something, and want it to be less, well

  33. Be specific. That was her motto. Or, she said it to me so many times I would swear it was. No one could ever be specific enough for her. She had to have every tiny, insignificant little thing laid out for her and even then that wasn’t enough. Sometimes, many times, she needed the details surrounding each individual detail, like one of those endless mirror reflections in a funhouse.

    Saronai
  34. I’m never very specific. Like makes so much more sense in abstractions. Specificity gets me in trouble. If I’m vague enough, I can pretty much avoid all confrontation. I also never get exactly what it is I want.

  39. Be specific! I’ve told you so many times! All you keep on saying is “I love you”. How much? 1 kg, 5kg, 8 tons? But no, you and your woolly expressions. You could change the units if you like, but for heaven’s sake, be specific!
