Finny, you are absolutely right about positive wordage.
It really does work. It takes effort to change the habit, but it makes a difference.

Just got back from the Reno Air Races, which were a blast -- seeing planes powered by more than 4,000 horsepower going over 500 mph. The fastest piston-driven machines on the planet!

At the races, it was SO VERY GRATIFYING to see that in nearly all of the 911 commemoratives there (and there were lots,, the words "Remember" and "Always remember" were used -- one rarely saw the word "forget" with a negative. I was so happy to see so many who understood the power of language and resisted letting their egos be offended by the concept of "pissy little word games."
