Free Write - Special

in #freewrite5 years ago

What does that even mean? I guess it depends on the eye of the beholder, like beauty, as special has different meanings. Yeah, special is supposed to be an awesome word describing something that unique and different and maybe even new or undiscovered.

But you might be too special to understand that if you've been soaking up on the short bus for too long while heading off to the special Olympics. But don't let the redefiners of words get you down. For only five simple payments of half of life savings, you can call, toll-free, as our special is not offered in stores. Right? So, just call me? Just kidding, or am I? What's going on here. As you can see. The moral of the story is that people will try to steal words from you and try to redefine them. It doesn't matter who they are. If people can turn a word like gay, meaning happy, to mean homosexual, then they can flip over any word. Beyond that, words can be defined through context. That is what makes communicating so special. On top of that, you are special, too.

I am in complete agreement with you about the changing meaning of words. I am in SE Asia where we do not have political correctness AT ALL. Coming from California, it has been quite a change. I am White here - not Caucasian, just for one example, lol.

Thanks. I was in Vietnam. Yeah. I've been in California and I liked parts of it. But yeah, I know what you are saying about political correctness which mainly come from larger cities, generally speaking.

I'm happy not to have to constantly watch my words now :)

Steem Reply looks interesting. I have not seen that before.
