Status Quo

I've taken a likening into the expression 'status quo'.

It fits quite nicely into most sentences,and has something about it that makes it more grandiose than saying "currently". For instance, saying 'status quo education system' sounds more professional than saying 'current education system'.

It may be just me, but whatever. I like to consider the way that each word or expression is pronounced. There is something beneath the simple jumble of alphabets. There is an art in every word, as each word has its uniqueness, a trait that others don't have. Thinking about the way that each word is pronounced gives me a exotic tingle. That diversity in the way expressions are pronounced, it is what makes me like English.

  1. Are you, by any chance, in EDS? Or taking debate? "Status quo" has long been a KMLA buzzword, which I actually criticized the juniors for over-using. I like the word to - sometimes. But it does get over used in EDS.
