  • Hi Randy D,
    Yes, when the moment is right...
    I love to wax floral, pursue the perissology a bit...grin sweetly and then absquatulate...cop and blow...

    * * *
    However my rule is like the Cheshire cat (Mad Hatter, WHO??), the words/grammar serve ME, they mean what I want them to mean I do not kowtow to any adverb or semicolon whatsomoreover!

  • Blimey, Ms V. So the answer would be yes, no?

    :)

  • Aw, that answer is too straightforward, Dear Lucia...why use one word when ten will do just as well?

  • We are of one on that one. Honestly, you should see me sometimes. 
    Do you like to make up words too?

  • Lucia, I actually came back to be a little more, well, honest here...because of course it is usually better to communicate with fewer words...but online, with Q/A friends, it is fun to experiment with various forms of expressiveness...

    You don't have facial expressions or body language online...so verbal forms are all you have to express humour...Didge and I started with each other back in 2011, I felt very free with him to explore the use of written language to build friendship...

    And yes, to answer your Q I love to make up words, or use the wrong word especially if it is a LONG word...occasionally someone misunderstands and gets angry or upset, so I might need to send 'em a wink ;) or something like that...

    I sometimes think of the song...
    "It's only words...
    And words are all I have...
    To take your heart away..."

  • what's the song?
    And as of now, Muggers and Muggerettes, I'm going to winking like the clappers. 
    Is there a texty symbol thing for *nervous twitch*

    ;) ;)

  • Ah Lucia, it's the everlasting Brothers Gibb, the BeeGees...but you have to be OLD, this song first released 1968!

    Thank you, V!

  • Lovely, Virginia. Yes, we've had lots of fun hurling strange words at each other over the past six years. In effect we built a word bridge across the Pacific. :)

  • I never use plain language when a little hyperbole will spice up the paragraph. I'm not actually very good at it but my laptop comes with a hyperbolic chamber and I just feed in my own pitifully plain language and see what comes out. 

    I can demonstrate its power right now. I just fed Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star into hyperbole.exe and look how it came out:

    Scintillate, scintillate, globule lucific
    Fain would I fathom thy nature specific
    Loftily perched in the ether capacious
    Strongly resembling a gem carbonaceous

  • ... globule lucific ...

    (Do you really have a hyperbole chamber).

  • Sure. It changes the pressure of the language very gradually so that my answers don't end up with the bends.

    Here's one specifically for you, Didge---

    "What did you bring that book that I don't like to be read to out of about Down Under up for?"

  • That certainly got a laugh, Tom, and while I'm smiling I'm gonna head out for my morning walk before the next shower of rain hits. Thanks for that. :D
