If I was learning English, I think that I would consider – just – as one of the most confusing words in the entire language. It is certainly one of the most overused.
– We are just about at the door right now
= just as nearly, almost
– That was just one of the things I wanted to talk about
= just as merely, an expression of unimportance, not-unique
– He was just like, almost crazy with anger.
= just as exactly
– Talking about him now wouldn’t be the just thing.
= just as morally correct
And there’s more.
