It seems that it is too often that we allow our laziness to invade into our language, more than it should, like couch-potato words, I guess.  Our laziness with words borders on abuse and sometimes at least torture —of innocent and well-meaning little words. In fact, as a reminder, some of you may remember my eloquent, but silly treatise on the stupid ways we use the word “up”.  My attempt w Read More

Enjoy these little teasers.  But remember, when you share, they are copyright protected from publication.
