General

Reasonable Hand-drawn Facsimile
I heard a tapping on the window, like the sound of a tree branch in the wind hitting the glass. At first, I thought I was dreaming, but I slowly opened my tired eyes, rolled over, and listened again.

Ih: The Creation of a New Word. Top Story - January 2024.
We humans, we love our simple noises. Isn’t it great to be able to grunt and get a point across? Minimal effort. That’s what the human experience is about. Minimal effort for maximum output. In the English language, we have a lot of these. Ever notice a lot of them are two letters and end with an H?

Lingo
Nineteen years ago, I secured an audition for the Gameshow Network’s family-friendly program “Lingo.” As the game was played by teams of two, the PA with whom I spoke instructed me to procure a partner. Having been in LA all of a year, I could hold hands with every member of my social circle at the same time. What’s more, the audition was held on a weekday, during regular business hours, making finding a partner who wasn’t a showbiz aspirant that much harder.

Do You Use a Tap or a Faucet?
Britain and America are two nations divided by a common language. While there is some uncertainty as to the originator of the above observation, George Bernard Shaw is the chief suspect. The plant-munching playwright supposedly said it in 1942, although the evidence is scant. But differences there are, and I’m following in the footsteps of many a column writer by broaching the US/UK language barrier, a subject forked over more times than Shaw’s vegetable garden.

Brain vs Heart
Fighting yourself isn't as easy as it seems. It's like being on top of a cliff where my brain will say "Jump" but my heart will counter with "Stop, you're scared". The only time my brain and heart work together is when I have a parachute with me and if a bear is coming towards me. The constant battle between the brain and the heart is like life itself. They can either connect like magnets or go on their separate ways like Paul Walker and Vin Diesel in the Fast and Furious 7 movie.
