Ani - Could be. Though I seemingly like the word ‘seem’. It makes me lack in definition and decisiveness. About anything. Seemingly.
Kermit - That is also a good, er, point, too. Though I would advise against saying things like “points are prickly and thus hard to grasp & hold” when Jack is in the comments box. She’ll only make something lewd out of it.
Hg - Ah yes. But remember that three full stops make an ellipsis. (Oh, I’m so profound.)
It’s hard to find the right words to say all the time, that’s why sometimes I choose to be silent.

Would you believe I had to reread your post, with my fingers out, making sure that it really was 19 syllables? That would be the definition of pointless.
Natural Blonde - Hello and welcome. My advice is that anything one has lost always ends up down the back of the sofa.
blueseaurchin - It’s really not necessary, but thank you nonetheless.
Ani - Yes, you were right. Thank you.
Jack - Oh, I like the look of that group. Even its name tickles my fancy. My fancy has been well and truly tickled.
Miss July - Yes, I understand that very well. It’s often the wisest choice to make, to stay silent.
Bohémienne - Don’t feel bad. Syllables exist to be counted. It’s there one purpose in life. Well, other than making words, I suppose.
Isabelle - Tipsy people in my comments! Hurrah. And no, nothing special about the numbers 14, 19 or any other digit. If only I were that profound to come up with secret meanings …
You’re a master wordspinner. Your blog (which I’ve just discovered) is an impressive kingdom. You have many courtiers. So I can understand your qualm, however whimsical. But for me, breaking out of words can be when the really meaningful action starts.
Gordon - A thought-provoking comment. I guess everyone has their own value that they put on words. For me? Priceless.
Deborah - Welcome, and thank you so much for your kind words. I know what you mean about breaking out of words, though i find for myself that the truly meaningful action comes when I break into them.
“All great deeds and all great thoughts have a ridiculous beginning. Great works are often born on a street corner or in a restaurant’s revolving door”
I’m in a quoting mood, after all ‘tis better to steal someone else’s words than concoct your own, ‘specially when you should be asleep considering you’ve got work tomorrow and everything.
