    Inkling said: When I (and I now do) wish someone "good luck", all I am doing is saying that I will be thinking
    about them and their pursuits, and I hope things work out well for them. I realize that me wishing
    them well has very little actual power (besides a small amount of a psychological boost from
    knowing that someone believes in you.) Still, when I am about to face a challenge and someone
    (even a total stranger) wishes me good luck, it makes me feel good

    I kind of lean this way also, people in the world do they really give (good luck) this much thought?

    I say alot of expressions now that use to be forbidden so to speak.

    It's just another tiresome example of JW's penchant for arbitrary contrariness;.being different for its own sake. ``Lucky." is a no-no, but ``fortunate" gets a pass. Go figure.
