It's rude to not try and look up-to-date. Is rude the right word? Yes! It's rude - rude to other people.

The right word fitly spoken is a precious rarity.

The right word may be effective, but no word was ever as effective as a rightly timed pause.

I met Steve McQueen once. Well, met isn't really the right word.

They went into stores to get food to stay alive. Looting isn't the right word. I call it survival.
