Sparks shouldn't get near the gas jugs, but now that you've mentioned

Thanks.


I hate two words. Should and probably.


They're different.

"Should" implies a moral and superiority judgment on the part of one's

Could just indicate indecision.


"Probably" is a dispassionate evaluation of the circumstances by a logical
mind.


Unless it's just indecision.
Anyway, I avoided both words - until now (-:
A friend would sometimes answer a question with "Maybe I might."
He just couldn't make up his mind.
