As always, I learn something new from...Aloha Muley! As always, I learn something new from your Blog everytime I visit "Muley's World"! I agree with you, the word "said" does seem to have made its exit from today's vocabulary.<BR/><BR/>This may not be related to your topic, but when I read "...with their cell phones seemingly screwed to their heads...", it made me think about a co-worker and a statement he had made to our supervisor...<BR/><BR/>Our computers were "down" and we could not access our email program. My co-worker says to our supervisor, "...what am I going to do? I can't email the finance officer!" (picture his comment stated in a "whining" voice).<BR/><BR/>Our supervisor's comment follows and I must say, it was "priceless"! "Well, Lynn...have you ever heard of a device called the 'telephone'?"<BR/><BR/>The response was right on target in my opinion! <BR/><BR/>Sorry to have strayed from your original point...(I am good at that!)<BR/><BR/>Mahalo (again) Muley! Keep 'em coming!Katalina Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04378100135672034661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12780015.post-1116268573858735832005-05-16T11:36:00.000-07:002005-05-16T11:36:00.000-07:00Muley has been added to my favorites. What about ...Muley has been added to my favorites. <BR/><BR/>What about the adult version of "like"? In my government world, people do not say, they "indicate." Is this done with gestures and grunts? Discreet head nods? Semaphores? "Stated" is only slightly better. My theory is having someone "say" something makes the words too permanent, definitive and the person too responsible. All bad things in gov't.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
