oops!

I must be very tired today. I used a word in my last post that is not a word at all. When I typed it I thought it sounded wrong, but used it anyway. Then I remembered what the word really is. Josh said I shouldn't worry about it because "70% of the readers won't even know it's wrong." I said, "Laura, Jacob, Justin, Tarra, Megan, Kathryn. They are probably 70% of my readers, and they are either editors or children of editors." Josh laughed and said, "good point." So, the word is hesitantly, not hesitatingly.

  1. Hee hee, you're funny! I like new words. If Shakespeare can do it, why can't we?!? :-)

  2. I try to convince people that because my dad AND my brother are professional editors, I have some sort of editing credentials. If they buy that, I tell them that because my brother is in Military Intelligence, I know more than they do about what is actually happening in Iraq and about the fact that WE ARE THE GOOD GUYS! And then I approach physics . . . or better yet, I leave it alone. I like fudge.
