Any time you are about to use a word, STOP! You are making a mistake. Go to this site. Put in the word you think you want to use. It will tell you that you are wrong and you should use other words. Pick one of the other words.
Remember, the number one rule in writing is show, not tell! If you use the word you mean, you are telling, not showing, and your writing will be bad.
