Recently, the lady I live with came across
A list of the 84,000 most popular words.
I give nothing away to tell you, SEX is number one.
Give the site a looksee, it is most interesting, sociologically speaking.
The first 20 words were primarily, single syllable.
Most of my favorite words were towards the end of the list, as in; used infrequently or specifically.
Sex is a blanket term.
It was sad to see we use asshole more than Mom. That says something, don’t it?

I am not a fan of the abbreviated form of language currently now in vogue.
I cannot keep up with all the disembodied letters.
It is the musicality I miss.
Language being sound and meaning, can satisfy the whole body once said or written.
That’s why poetry and songs are as ancient as humans theyselves and hopefully, will ever be.
*
If you have any wonderful or unusual words you can contribute, leave them in your comments.
I want to collect as many as I can before I die.
To give them all back to you.

Thanks.
Love,
LuRain

Bones of my life story - with warts.
Hi LuRain;
I am now of the firm opinion that for whatever reason there is more to our crossing this electronic medium than chance.
You have a way with words, but the motivation behind the words is what gives your words substance and can actually make someone see the light, even if it is for but a blink.
It is all a person needs, that blink in time to make a change.
You are right, the mind must change before the heart can change.
I thank you for taking your precious time and giving some of it to me. It is a precious gift I do not take lightly or for granted.
It is difficult not to love one such as you my friend.
