I have been busy, I have been on Facebook trying to catch up.  I signed up on it months ago and never did do anything with it.  I don’t know if it is me but there just isn’t enough hours in the day anymore.  It seems that all I do is stay on here at the computer with not much work getting done.  That is on the days I can stay on here.  I just keep thinking that it is because I have Dial up service instead of DSL. 

It just might be wishful thinking that it is because of my service, and not that I might have  the attention span of a gnat.  Oh that is an interesting word….you see that GNAT that is such a weird looking word.   I would really like to speak to the folks that designed our language, and ask them “What you just ran out of ideas for the words we use?”  That brings us to the word of KNIFE, what is that?  Why not just write it just like it sounds…..NIFE  that is so much easier and it rhymes with Wife…..Oh there we go another one RHYMES what is that? Does the H in that word have anything to do with the word or the Y …..why is the Y in there?  I think it should be RIMES…..that would be just as easy.   How about the word GYPSY that would be changed to GIPSIE there that is easier too.  The Y wasn’t of any use in that word anyway, see there are a lot of words that we could change.

And to make matters even worse I find that there are words that I really do not use at all or ever have…….probably because I can’t figure out how to put them in an actual sentence to use them.  Like the word GYVE  not only is it a weird looking word if we change the spelling  it changes the meaning totally.  Boy what a dilemma our language is so messed up.  That word GYVE -definition is  Shackle or fetter , especially for the leg. Great word as it is for the Scrabble game but if we spell it the way it sounds then it becomes ordinary GIVE which means something totally different.   Just don’t know how we can fix this,  but I know that the Dictionary used to be just the dictionary and now there are so many different kinds of reference books to our language.  I still think they only make up new words just for the Scrabble game…..I say that because that is the only time I use those words, when I want to baffle my opponent in scrabble and make them look up the word.  I like saying “I told you so, I told you it was in the dictionary”

 That is it folks, I am calling a meeting in Washington for an overhaul of the English Language immediately!  Forget the health-care system we need a Language CZAR….and while we are at it, I am putting it on the floor that it be called the North American Language, we are not English any more and haven’t been since the Pilgrims’ left England.  What do you say are ya with me?

Have a great day, hope I made you giggle
