How to use "Almost" in context?
Everyone seems to use "almost" in their conversations and writing. I'm not sure why, but it's become such a common word. We use it as an interjection to soften a statement or to show that we are not completely sure of what we are saying. In some cases, it appears that almost has replaced the word "almost." Almost always has a more positive connotation. Almost always suggests that both parties are hoping for a better future, even if either one knows that the future may not be what they hoped for. Almost always suggests that compromise and effort will result in a positive outcome. Almost always implies that someone is engaging in pleasing behavior.
