I wish I had one planted in my brain so I won't get so tongue tied when speaking!! In writing we get to go back and redo.

If they grew up watching silly cartoons in the 70's and 80's, instead of calling an iPad Air a "techie" instrument, I might call it "Jetsonian."Sherry Boykinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00286895522275887197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-57926536580390402512014-03-25T06:35:18.822-04:002014-03-25T06:35:18.822-04:00Reading what others have to say helps me start thi...Reading what others have to say helps me start thinking and sometimes processes things in a different direction. You just gave me an idea for a post about words. You are so right about how what we say can be different than what we write.
