We are always told to be specific when we write. “Show don’t tell” has marked my sophomore year more than any other phrase. Even “be inspired” isn’t up there in the tope ten.
Her eyes were a specific shade of blue. It was a lot like the ocean, with the greens and the blues mixing in with greys. I wanted to dive into her eyes and swim within her soul.
Katie Sparks
I’d be more specific about this, but that would be nit-picky.
Sara silva
Really? Again? How specific can specific be? I’ve got this word three times already and I have nothing else more to say about specific! Why can’t everything be vague. Anti-specific. Yes!

Let’s be specific about one thing that we all are stumbling here as we all really have nothing to do in this universe.
The one specific thing that your wife would ensure is that you remain happy. Ironically if she does not ensure that it would much more easier to be happy. The one specific thing that i personally dislidis
“The specific gravity is off; someone has been tampering with the coolant!”
*sirens sound*
“Oh God, the reactor is going critical!”
*sirens stop*
“Or maybe not? Guess it was just a false alarm guys. I’m thinking Denny’s for lunch?”
When we’re writing stories, or when I’m having my kids practice speaking skills, I always ask them to “be specific”. We all make the mistake of assuming the listener or reader knows exactly what we’re talking about; as a teacher, it’s something I have to pay attention to.
i don’t know about what caused the specific cataclysm of earth, but i do know that it inherently ended everything. my life. everyone around me. the only thing that didn’t end was me, though i still don’t know why. all i know is that i’m standing amidst the rubble of earth and wondering what went wrong.

things that are meant for one thing and one thing only. it it very narrow and i love cake. chocolate cake. ice cream is good also. hmmm KFC (: im bored.
jessica
details is boring ! people tend to get into details about subjects. they would actually be interesting otherwise. on the contrary we can argue that brevity is the soul of wit. Without being specific you cannot really be witty !
manini
if i could be specific i would be understood by you more often and I specifically remember not being clear about some things

Colors, words, furniture, decorations. Why choose? Why be selective? But of course this world only offers specificity, we can’t be picky, we must achieve to master everything and anything. Be specific, choose wisely. Is this what the world offers us today? No, we live in a life of options and free spirited thinking, wishful thinking. I don’t like to be specific, I am an idealist.
specific exact. period. don’t need to describe it. there’s nothing to describe because it’s already a specific thing. like, AIDS
Dennis Budde
Colors. Thoughts. Words. Actions. Why must we be so limited? In a world that throws out opportunities, options, decisions, choices, we have the freedom to remain open minded, for wishful thinking. I don’t like to be specific, or for anything to be in any particular order, I am random at best.
I looked around the room, everything was screaming, colour’s popped, patterns danced. I focused. Staring at him. One specific word on the tip of my tongue.

an arrow points to the centre most point of the point and there is no wavering or indecision even though this rambling imbues the very opposite of its subject.
It is a certain thing. something whose details, definition, or general whereabouts are well understood. it can draw singularity and separate one certain item
william
Oh this specific word comes again, there is no other word to write on. I dont even know what to write on about this word. 60 seconds thats it? Thats not cool. Im done. Bleh! Ugh! times not even getting over.
mohitosh
there’s nothing specifically wrong about or right about anything. Everything around is vague. But when it comes to description of ideas, people would expect specificity.
aksh
Specifically the word specific means precise.. precise reminds me of chhavi, because of her preciseness at being CRACKED!! cracked reminds me of the website cracked chavvi was using.. chhavi and cracked are an alluiterration.. yayie!! i think of ms paalvai nopw! ;)

rhymes with pacific where there are fish i dont like fish it tates like chicken chicken reminds me of angry birds addictive game i should punctuate btu thats a waste of time our school cafeteria needs chicken okay bye

It’s so hard to do that. Be specific. People tell me all the time, “I don’t know what you’re saying, be specific”, or “You’re being too general, you need to be more specific”, Teachers, friends, parents.
I’ve tried to be specific, but I hate getting bogged down in the details, the pedantic fiddly nitty-gritty that makes me want to tear my hair out. I would rather just write the general outline of something and let the imagination of my audience fill in the gaps.
Croganhore
i just wrote about this. being very clear and to the point about something. in detail with all the information. reminds me of fiction and non fiction. also species like fish and monkies. i don’t know
Kacey
the word specific can be used vastly!! specific people are specific!they have specific taste and specific works !!
mohitosh
there isn’t something specific about the word specific. it is vague, because it doesn’t specify anything. without boundaries or a following explanation, the word specific contradicts its actual meaning. essentially, the word specific is anything but specific. and it’s annoying. i’m tired of things not being what they are.
Julianne Lewis
I’m having another go at this word. I think it’s a good word. It’s nice to have something to focus on. Something specific. Like today. So off I go

i think specifically about things that do not matter. i do not know what is wrong with me, but it is terrifying. specifics are so difficult to convey, and even more difficult to really comprehend and understand. they are what outline our lives. they are what most never focus on.
Dennis Stamatopoulos
It’s specific. Like in actual. Like I said today – actual. Not partial or approximate. You must make an actual difference to the mess in your room. Yes. Your specific mess. Don’t blame it on anyone else
EAMHarris
something with lots of atributes. individual. something almost unique.
kiro
specificity is the act of focusing on a certain aspect. people should be specific about what they mean. people should be explicit with one another. tell some one you love them if you love them. be specific
Mer
I have done this specific word already! Any chance I can have another word to write about in 60 sec? This specific word has been exhausted and I would like another
Bevan
The place on your neck. So specific. On your left side. Just behind the ear lobe. With the lightest touch and faintest whisper you melt in my arms.
Specific. Not general. What a strangely specific word to write about. Specific details tend to be rather dull, but are sometimes necessary. When I type the word a couple of times it starts to look very odd. Specific. Pacific.
it’s an adjective, it describes when something has its significant features, it exists just with it and no one has the same feature
Marie
Lots of things in life require specific attention, like how many miles I might get from a tank of fuel and how much that tank just cost me with the latest fuel hike? Will I be able to get to my specific destination in order to earn the next paycheque in order to pay for the next tank of fuel?
