always? yes. always.

i am very reluctant to use always phrases.
"you always leave the milk out"
always? this implies that the guilty have never not done that which he or she is accused of and even makes inference to the notion that they will continue to do this one thing until their passing day....a dramatic and thoughtless way of inadvertantly reminding the forgotten. the beauty of passive aggression.
one thing is for certain. always statements do exist in justifiable verity.
demonstration: "There will ALWAYS be someone who is better at doing something than you or I."
this statement is universally true and the use of always is the axis with which its truth revolves.
and so it hangs. the use of a single word - readily used interchangeably with universal truth and the presence of milk.
who knew milk carried such clout.
