That was some great choice of words&nbsp; up there&#8230;most of these words have been rated amongst the top 100 words in english language.<\/p>\n<p>Funny isn&#8217;t it, how we have come to choosing&nbsp; things&nbsp; that are a trend.<\/p>\n<p>Be it an electronic gadget, a fad diet, be it the top fashion trends, choosing&nbsp; a healthy lifestyle, choosing a school and sometimes even a top rated career!&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Every choice is based on someone else&#8217;s choice.
