Gracious ladies

  "a gracious woman retaineth honor..." Proverbs 11:16 a. Are we gracious women? in our day of age, girls are not taught different speaking patterens than boys. many girls, including myself, use slang words, like "sick" or "sad" or "that rocks" . perhaps you have heard girls say "dude" , "idiot" or "bogus". None of these are good enough for a good godly woman to use. why?
      1. Just because a man says certain words, does not give t woman freedom to use them. men always had their own more vulgar language. I have been studying the Japanese language for some time now. in Japan, women have a nicer speech  than the normal one, and men have a more vulgar one. curse words should never be used by anyone, don't get me wrong.  but words like dude, or perhaps idiot have a place, but not for a Godly woman.
       2. The Bible makes it clear that there is a distinct difference between men and women. men are the protectors and providers, and women are the helpmeets. men may need to use a more vulgar language at times to defend you. woman have no need to use a vulgar language.
      Then what kindof language is appropriate language for women?
    well, lets pretend this is a grammar class then, it will be easier to understand. 
     here are the rules of the female language, (at least what i believe sounds feminine)
       1. words that denote a form of stupidity should not be used.
             i.e. idiot, stupid, dummy, retard, 
            rather, you should use pity in your expressions toward the foolish.
           Exapmple:  
                   That idiot passed me on the right!
               to fix it, we should omit idiot, and replace it with a kinder phrase.
                   that poor foolish man will hurt himself if he drives like that. he is blessed to not have 
                     been injured!
       2. correct word usage should be on our tounges.
           fix this sentance: i woulda been better at that if i practiced more.
             use instead:       If i had practiced, I would have been better at that. 
       3. use of the words should have, would have, or could have, can not, would not or should not as opposed to should've , would've or could've, can't,won't, or shouldn't sound far more feminine and intelligent.
               ex. I should've been there! I can't believe I missed it
                  -or- i should have been there. I can not believe I  missed it.
      4. the proper use of the word have has and have give a more feminine connotation.
                example: I can not believe i missed it!
                                 I can not believe i had missed it!
       5. we should avoid slang like "man", "dude" or "o boy", and replace them with more gracious words, like dear, oh my, or o dear,
          example: Oh boy! I'm excited
                       Instead: oh My! I'm excited!
                          -or- Man! what were you doing?
                        Instead : oh dear! what were you doing?
     6. use of slang like sick., sad, or retarded should not be used.
                      ex.  that is sick!
                    instead: that is not right!
                       or : that is so retarded
                        Instead: that is not wise!
                     or :they don't have it, sad!
                          instead: they don't have it, too bad!
     7.   lastly, a list of good feminine phrases
                oh my!                 wonderful
               would have           could have
               should have          goodness!
                oh how silly!         very nice
             that is good           poor foolish (man, woman, child)
              oh, the poor lost soul
           

    let us try some on our own! copy the section below and paste it to a word program document, then print it!(or print this page!)
     Rewrite the sentances below to sound more feminine.
    1. Dude! what is wrong with you?


  2. what's that?



  3. that stupid woman! she shouldn't have done that.


4.   oh man! I can't believe it!


 5. excuse me, why can't I do this?

  


  Answers:   1.  dear, what is wrong with you? , 2. what is that (was that) ? 3. that poor foolish woman, she should not have done that.    4.  Oh dear! I can not believe it!  5. excuse me, why can I not do this?



      Hope you enjoyed this!  -delighted daugher
   p.s. , it also helps too speak in a sweet soft voice, but loud and clear enough for people to hear and understand you.  be considerate, and you should do fine!
