Here I am scrambling to find three usable pieces of writing I have EVER done and I am digging through college essays.
In a paper I'm particularly fond of, I came across the word "senescence" which amazed me because how did I get away with such brazen Thesaurus usage? I know exactly how I arrived at that word too -- I typed "oldness" into hyperdictionary.
Note: If you're keeping score at home, "oldness" to "senescence" is 5000 points for thesaurus usage.
How would you like to sell your words and punctuation? I've heard you might be able to unload quite a bit of them by selling out of the back of a van. Low overhead expenses and the ability to shift to meet your potential customers where they live and work.
ha ha, yes I will watch my use of semicolons. And I suppose I should keep an eye on colons as well, as I hear those things need to be checked as one gets older. but just how does one keep an eye on a colon, and not fall into obvious humor?
(PS: awesome to "read" you as well. life...it is busy, portions of it are rather boring, usually on weekdays between 8am and 5pm, but the family is loads of busy-fun)

Also hyphens. I wish people would use more hyphens.

I can deal with the elipses -- they're your THING. But please be careful with the semicolons, okay?
(PS: awesome to see you! How is life?)
