I think you can safely add this one to your "8 most dangerous words" article and make it 9. The "what if" can be used strategically in both directions. For example, you can ask yourself "What effect do I want to have on myself, or the other person?" And the answer you get will tell you how to use the question or what to emphasize. You can induce doubt, uncertainty, even fear(negative feelings), or you can go 100% positive and be a touchy feely-huggy- bear and induce good feelings. Keep 'em coming! Jack P.S. I am sure you know this; this is for some of your readers who may not yet be aware of it. Kenrick,

Excellent article. I think you can safely add this one to your "8 most dangerous words" article and make it 9. The "what if" can be used strategically in both directions.

Keep 'em coming!
