I have started trying another intentional change to my word choice recently.
I am not a fan of saying, "I don't disagree", although I get there are times when I may not agree but don't have a strong countervailing opinion.
This week, I've tried to say instead "I don't object" or "I accept" as a prelude to feedback rather than the double negative.
I like how much clearer it is and am eager to see how it affects the technical conversations I am in.
