Favorite Word:
pivotalI like it because... being "pivotal" to a situation means that you can play an intergal role in what is happening, whether you are the hero or villian; and, you can make a difference in the outcome.
Least Favorite Word:
assumeBecause rather than "assume" as in "to presume" one should always "ask" and find out.
