Fun With False Cognates

posted by [personal profile] eftychia at 01:04pm on 2005-03-01

(Help with the lock is coming late tonight or tomorrow evening; thanks for the suggestions, folks.)

If precision is saying exactly what you mean, then is postcision trying apply spin after what you said has blown up in your face? ("What I meant when I said _______ was really ______ ...")

(Yeah, I know, not as snippy as the old progress/congress joke, but hey, I'm no Samuel Clemens or Will Rogers, and I'm not completely awake. But I am easily amused.)

Hey, I like it.
Maybe I'm just easily amused, too.

I've been saying for years that I'm not prejudiced, but I do have a few postjudices (accreted by negative experiences caused by people who conform to a certain trait or set of traits).

If the rhetorical shoe fits, wear it. Unfortunately for you, it doesn't have a heel. >:)

Drop me an e-mail sometime soon, ok? :)
