But I Already Threw The First Stone...

Dearest Blatherscopians, You know how enthralled I, Zerd, am by Language and Words, by the fineness of Meaning teased out from careful reading, and by the heady Power that comes from wielding such precision. I am a stickler for Exactness--a word nerdiness, if You will permit me such levity.

Imagine my chagrin to discover that while I have been saying "plentitude", the word is "plenitude."* I hang my head in shame.

*As in: The overflowing plenitude of my breasts inflames the desires of all who gaze upon them.

I forgive you...only because of the example sentence.

For some reason, that always helps Micah forgive me, too:)
