“DESCRIBE yourself in one word.”
“Courage.”
Ahem.
But I think an ADJECTIVE was called for: “courageous,” “brave,” “inarticulate,” “idiotic.”
ADJECTIVES DESCRIBE, APPLY qualities to persons, things, circumstances.
Disconnected ponderous NOUNS sound grave (“Satan”), but, when spouted in alarmist gulps, don’t make sense; it’s not clear, in other words, how they APPLY to anything real, present.
The above is my somehat ponderous rant for Friday flash 55. Tell it to the G-Man.
Perhaps I am an overly sensitive grammarian–my own poor usage leads me to think I am not–but I also feel like I have more license to use words sloppily–I am not running for President. We won’t say anything about humility here.
Have a wonderful weekend and, if you have a mo, please please please check out: my comic novel,NOSE DIVE, book of poetry, GOING ON SOMEWHERE, or children’s counting book 1 MISSISSIPPI.
