-Christmas carol quote: "Then all the reindeer loved him / and they shouted out with glee (yippee!)"-
Nothing but vagueness to show for last night's dreams, although I think the mug of freezing water does help me wake up in time to record what I remember. Specifically, my BLADDER wakes me up.
*looks up at the previous statement*
Isn't "bladder" an awesome word? Not the meaning, just looking at it. The appearance of the letters is reminiscent of some sort of ancient hero (like Bladdud).
I tend to inspect the appearance of the oddest words. Such as "the". If you look at the word "the", it looks like it's missing something at the end -- like the writer forgot to finish it.
And how about "like"? Visually, it's a mix between "bike" and "lick", but it has a completely different mouth feel when you say it.
I guess that's the most interesting part: examining the word's appearance, then noticing how it deviates from the way it feels to say it out loud.
Reality check. I could go on about this in an infinite loop. I suspect my acquaintances find my observations annoying.

I suspect your "acquaintances" should wake up and smell the fun that is there for the taking all around them - provided their homour gland can acquaint it. ;)
ReplyDeleteI still think "bumblebee" is the most beautiful and fun word in the English language I have had the pleasure of using. Visually and phonetically it does everything right.
How can anyone dislike bumblebee? ;)
