Waaaayyy off topic:
I love it when people are so good with words, I envy them in fact.
One member here, Believe09, has such a way with words that it has a calming effect.
I have always admired that poster for that.
Kat, you and others in this thread have that gift too.
Me? I tend to be brass tax facts and it often comes off snarky.
I don't mean for it to come out that way, but it does and I am aware of it.
Always multi-tasking, always in a rush, as few words as possible like writing law briefs.
I also envy the people that always know just the right thing to say when someone is grieving etc... I always think that whatever I say is the wrong thing...and often go back and delete my posts.
I've often considered taking some kind of course to help me learn to hedge my words better. My worst part of English classes in College was the descriptive writing using adjectives, flowery descriptions, etc... lol. It just always read as "sooo fake" when I went back and re-read what I wrote. I did have all "A's" though!
I just rarely take the time to use that knowledge when writing on forums and tend to now revert to texting slang even. I hated it when all of that first came out and now I use it??? lolol
Anyway, kudos to you Kat. Kudos. Truly.
