"Redundant" when they mean "useless" (not the same thing).

"Potential" for "possible".

"Decimate" for "devastate" (not quite the same thing).

"Native American" when the speaker means "Indigenous American". Any American who was born here (ie is not a first generation immigrant) is a "native American". Politicians like Buchanan (back in the day) and Trump (now) who appeals to anti immigrant sentiment is a "Nativist"...and its not because theyre concerned about the rights of Indigenous Americans. I agree that "American Indian" is outdated, but we need a better replacement than "Native American".

You can hide your obsession if you try. My mum told me that once. I didn't talk to her again for the rest of that day. Little did she know that I was already hiding a secret obsession that she knew nothing about by wearing red, white and blue.

You can do anything if you put your mind to it.
If you try hard enough you can do anything.

I had no idea the war in the mideast is still going on because I have not tried hard enough to stop it.

Just act natural. Just be yourself!
Try to think positive!
You are just not trying hard enough!
Just endure it/deal with it.
