If you just write your own application, chances are you'll be fine. It's not a banned word list - it's just words that may make them look more stringently at the rest of the document.

I have my own short list.

- "The truth is"
- "The fact is"
- "The reality is"

I know with absolute certainty that whenever these phrases are used, the next words coming out of the speaker's mouth is not "truth", "fact", or "reality" - but opinion. And probably a shitty, unsupported one at that. Watch for it next time and see if you agree with me.

I do agree with you; and the phrases "to be perfectly honest," "to be frank," and "I tell no word of a lie" are invariably followed by a downright lie.

...Is bad acting and direction. If you're making a TV show you should understand that viewers will probably be watching it on a TV set with all the problems that come with that. It is the height of thespian fashion at the moment to "whisper, whisper, mumble, ROAR, BELLOW, SCREAM, mumble, whisper." The directors should stamp hard on this idiocy, but don't.

This is entirely the fault of the ANC. Their ridiculous Marxist philosophy, coupled with a breathtaking degree of stupidity have caused the crisis. Putting 'cadres' into positions for which they have absolutely no qualifications or experience; rampant theft of already scarce resources; and an utterly spineless leader are to blame. If you are a South African, I urge you to vote next year to remove these clowns--and in the meantime buy solar panels and go off-grid.
