According to , "pressure" means: "To encourage or heavily exert force or influence", and according to , "encourage" means (among other senses) "To spur on, strongly recommend." As an example use of the word "pressure", wiktionary offers this: Do not let anyone pressure you into buying something you do not want. For another source, according to : "If you put pressure on someone, you try to cause that person to do something by persuading or threatening them" Here, I used the word "pressure" in the sense of to "persuade" or to "spur on, strongly recommend." Therefore, I think I used the word correctly here. Thanks, Mark
