I heard somewhere that you shouldn't use the word "you" a lot in conversations...that it's accusatory or something? Are there other words, phrases, even body language like this?

there's 64 sparrows, 25 pigeons and three parrots on an Oak tree, a Texan shoots at the birds with a sawn off shotgun and kills 23 sparrows, 6 pigeons and a parrot gets severely injured too and falls to the ground.
How many birds will be left on the tree? lol.

cornflower dozed against matthias's shoulder. she could her the gentle lull of her father's voice and that of john churchmouse, blending with the hum of nocturnal insects from the medow and hedges on this balmy summer night. The summer of the late rose....cornflower turned the words over in her mind, dreamily thinking of the ols rambler that bloomed in the abbey gardens. Nomally it was in full red flower by now.
