error-free

Error-free is a way to live, work, and play by doing what is necessary to not commit any errors.

Though one cannot always determine immediately after executing a specific action whether it was a success, a failure, or an error, time usually answers that question. Living error-free demands greater concentration and skill, is advantageous and well worth it.

scientific living

Living by applying the scientific method to make the most important decisions, all along doing all one can to never make a decision based solely on an emotion.

Individuals who live scientifically make the most important decisions only after taking the scientific method's six steps: 1) asking a question, 2) doing background research, 3) constructing a hypothesis, 4) testing the hypothesis by doing an experiment, 5) analyzing the data and drawing a conclusion, and 6) writing down the results.

Scientific living also entails doing a great deal of observation, writing down as much as possible what one perceives, along with prioritizing, planning, and calculating likely outcomes.

The opposite of scientific living is living 'spur of the moment.'

European-Americans

The counterpart to the term African-Americans. Members of the Anglo-Saxon race who were either born in or live in the United States of America.

Do any Black Americans realize that referring to them as "African-Americans" insinuates that even if they were born in the United States of America they continue to be foreigners? What would happen if mainstream media started referring to White Americans as "European-Americans," as in, "Though in the United States of America the quantity of Latinos (16.3%) now surpasses the number of African-Americans (12.6%), European-Americans comprise 72.4% and Asians comprise 4.8% of the population (2010 Census). Notice that Latinos and Asians have not been inflicted with or infected by a hyphen.
