8th April 2014 - Of words and Wine

Thought for the day : A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

Tuesday and the hay fever is taking its toll. going away for a couple of days meant of course that I forgot to take any of the medications with me. I am very unused to this idea of taking tablets or similar on a regular basis. They have always been a short sharp regime for a few days or a week to cover a particular ailment. However, since finding out that my March wheezes are not in fact related to the hauling of canvass and breathing in the spores, but to something more general - maybe tree pollen, the daily antihistamine is obviously doing some good. This morning, I found it difficult to rise from bed, and a tightness across the chest causes discomfort... 

So today is a day for catching up the emails, drawing a few new birthday cards ( up to 167 now) and perhaps looking at a few songs that really need to be developed. And of course the weekly cover picture..

But as Blogs are all about words, the following caught my attention and I felt needed sharing.. 

Acyrologia - An incorrect use of words - particulately replacing one word with another word that sounds similar but has a diffident meaning - possibly fuelled by a deep-seeded desire to sound more educated, witch results in an attempt to pawn off an incorrect word in place of a correct one. 

In academia, such flaunting of common social morays is seen as almost sorted and might result in the offender becoming a piranha, in the Monday world, after all is set and done, such a miner era will often leave normal people unphased. 

This is just as well sense people of that elk are unlikely to tow the line irregardless of any attempt to better educate them. A small percentage, however, suffer from severe acyrologiaphobia, and it is their upmost desire to see English used properly. 

Exposure may cause them symptoms that may resemble post-dramatic stress disorder and, eventually, descend into whole-scale outrage as they go star-craving mad. Eventually, they will succumb to the stings and arrows of such a barrage, and suffer a complete metal breakdown, leaving them curled up in the feeble position.

Its enough to drive you to drink .... so maybe a nice bottle of Chateau 41 is called for....

Maybe later ....
