"mince words"

Monday, May 2, 2016

 "Without mincing words, I want to say I love you dearly."
 That word is "mince", not "miss; not even "mix". CAUTION: I hear some people say: "Without missing words...."; "Without mixing words...."

 That's never correct, please! To "mince words" is to say something indirectly.
 Do you now understand?
