Thanks Columbine... you have illustrated the challenges of the English language very well. Your assessment of my examples is spot on - thank you. You are 100% correct of course.

On a more serious note... the post was in the hopes of inspiring interaction and discussion while possibly having a little fun with the English language, (Which it well deserves for obvious reasons.)

On a less serious note... the next word I will put forward to the list is "Humour", or "Humor" depending which location you are in.

As in... developing a sense of it.



Posts are difficult to convey personality in, Smilies can help, but it is a challenge all the same. I hope I come across in good intention and that I do not sound offensive in any way.

That is the very LAST thing I would ever want to do.

Looking forward... There is culture. There is language. One day there will be understanding. A smile can speak volumes. That is why I offer "Humour" as the next candidate word.

D.


Oh well!
