I have written about "self-aware words".

I think it's true that these terms 'make the listener feel uncomfortable,' but the words we come to use in our office, come up in our daily lives.

At the end of last year, I had gone back to my parents' home to support my mother's hospital transfer.

The thing that I had been praying for a month, "Please don't come," came that day.

"Cold wave and snowfall said to be once in several years"

The day before, I kept checking the landscape of the garden late into the night, but on the day of the event, it was completely covered with snow.

My mother's transportation would be done by a care cab, but I had rented a car the day before to handle the huge amount of paperwork and moving the hospital supplies both at the source hospital and destination hospital.

I had brought general-purpose tire chains, but I am someone who knows how scary it is to drive in the snow (I almost killed my oldest daughter once).

The moment I saw the snow, I decided to change my plan from Plan A to Plan B (travel by train).

The snowfall had messed up the train schedule, but we managed to make it in time.

At the hospital where I was transferred, I was discussing with a nurse about the delivery of items for my mother's transfer.

Ebata: "As for the delivery, I'm going to think of a 'strategy' to see if I can bring it in by car today or have my sister bring it in later."

Nurse: "'Strategy'..."

She giggled, and I felt very embarrassed.

I'm not a military man, but even in civilian laboratories (and probably in ordinary companies) "strategy" is a term that is commonly used verbally.

However, I will be very, very careful from now on, .

If I had said something like "strategy," I would have died of embarrassment.
