I hate the word should. Its use means that someone is applying an alternative reality to whatever they are talking about. Should means that something doesn’t exist, but ideally you would want it to. Which, as we learned when we were three years old, means absolutely nothing. Should is the cause of so many of the world’s problems, and so much wasted potential. It has its place, but as a means of last resort and only when supported by examples and context from this reality, not another.

Couldn’t agree more. ‘Should’ is often used by spectators suggesting what another person could be doing.
