Article Abstract:
The usage of the word 'enable' has some connotations which can be taken as negative. This in part happened due to the word being used in Alcoholics Anonymous booklets and various writings giving a sense of being an accomplice to bad behaviour. Usage of the word 'geek' is also noted.
