Heresay would look like a made-up word to someone from another country. It looks funny.
Actually one of my classes accused ME of having made it up the first time I wrote ´thus´ on the blackboard. They just wouldn´t believe it could be a real word. And this is NOT hearsay.
Playing with words is fun. Sometimes it isn't so fun when you are trying to figure out the spelling of one and it's so far off spell check can't come up with it, but that's a different subject, LOL!
I like to mess around and make stuff up. But my editor catches everyone of them. Every party needs a pooper I guess.
Yes! You're abysmal at this whole blogging challenge thing, with your dropping in on people's blogs, and leaving lovely, heartfelt comments, and well-spoken feedback, and just generally spiffing up a place, all in the light touch of a writing voice that smacks of sunlight on a spring day.
I've no doubt the Challenge cops will burst in any moment. Give you a good and proper public flogging, they will.
'Course they'd have to take you outdoors to make it public.
And even then, there'd need to be people about.
Okay, forget the cops. Probably dawdling around my Keystone post, anyway.
But don't forget this: You may fall behind in your posts, but you've been a warm and welcome voice at the places you visit. You've given folks (meaning me) a bit of a boost on days when they (still meaning me) haven't felt like anyone (meaning the rest of the people in the world, my lot in particular) was watching. There's great value in that.
And when you do write to the letters, as you did with H, it's always entertaining and fun and unexpected. Even the wee bitty catch-up posts were dealt with a smile.
I'll take hit-or-miss entries that make me glad to have visited over by-the-numbers posts written solely from a sense of obligation any day. (Better than 25 words in that sentence and not a comma one. Oy.).
So. Pick up thy pen, fair Belle, and get thee busy.
P.S. This comment was like, four times longer than your original entry. Think I could make it into a post? What letter?
Yes, you could definitely make it into a post: J is for Joe, wonderful Joe, who just brightened up my day. Wait – that would be what I would title the post …!
When the notification of your comment popped into my email, I smiled, one of those really deep smiles that reach right inside. The world does look really beautiful today! Thanks, Joe!
Yeah, I'm woefully bad at blogging challenges too but then I remember – the real reason I'm doing it is to get acquainted with cool new blogs, like this one. Hearsay IS a funny looking word.
