The other day, my Facebook status read: "Candice Covak ecstatically reports that Judsen is routinely pooing in the potty. You may say I'm a dreamer...but I'm not the only one."
A true statement if ever I wrote one.
But one reply stood out to me, and it was from my friend, Jana. She commented, "Oh, you delightful, artful wordsmith, you. Love the things you say." Jana, my cup runneth over. This is, by far, the best compliment I've received in some time, and I treasure it fully.
So, when I came across this post from a fellow wordsmith (and blogger), I had to repost. He titled it Ingenuine Isn’t a Word? Check it out: I relate both to his point and the raucous way he writes it.
There's simply no humbler moment than one that marries man's love of language with his total mishandling of it into rubbish! In consideration of ALL of our foibles, I'll add these to the list entitled, "Yes, you said that. But it's STILL not a Word": intentionality; irregardless (still gettin' hits, that one); snuck (that's slang: the past tense of sneak is sneaked); brang, "for all intensive purposes"; offen; and preventative.
