Grammical

So in my very first post I said that I love to make up words and I talk backwards all the time. This is true. One of the oldest, and most used, even by my closest friends is ‘my squeaks are breaking’. I believe I said that even before my husband and I were married. Of course I meant to say that my ‘breaks are squeaking’ but it didn’t come out that way. That is probably the most memorable backwards talk. However I do it only a daily bases. In normal everyday conversation I rearrange my words; the bad thing is I usually don’t even catch it. To make matters worse, my husband and friends know what I’m trying to say, they usually laugh and keep going.



Making up words can be fun! Although, those around you that don’t understand your lingo will sometimes look at you crazy.
Most of the words that I make up will be forgotten within a matter of minutes simply because I forget them. But the best and most used right now is ‘Grammical.’

Grammical? Yes, grammical.

I was sitting with my husband and announced that I had finished my MS. By finished I mean gotten all the words down on paper/computer. Not that is was ready to be sent out. My husband said ‘great now you can start sending it out, right?’ To this I responded, ‘uh, no, not with all those grammical errors.’ (I can see every English teacher cringing now)


So, do you like to make up words, or talk backwards?


Maybe there is a special group we could join!

  1. I love to make up words! I do it all the time :) I clicked on your blog because you have the same name as me, and I am always intrigued by people with the same name as me. I always wonder if we have anything in common. Looks like we do! :)
