Just in. A personal message from Don Sweeney in reference to this post:
"I've been made aware of
@Aussie Bruin 's recent comments regarding my recent comments.
I'm not sure what you mean. And by that, what I'm referencing is a general lack of knowledge as to exactly what your words mean when strung together in a sentence. Or should I say a group of words grouped together and generally consisting of a some nouns, a few verbs, and in some cases perhaps an adverb or two. However, I'd also like to point out that an adverb is not at all a prerequisite for verbal communication. Or written communication, for that matter.
Still, I think you get the point. At least I hope you get the point - or the general gist - of what I'm trying to say.
And if so, I'd really appreciate it if you'd let me know what my point is. I seem to have misplaced it. Lost my train of thought, so to speak.
And when I use the word train, I use it as an euphemism for the general sense of what I was talking about. I don't mean an actual train as that would be silly. Although I do like trains. I have a set in my office that goes choo choo as it chugs around the desk. It's not a real train, as that too would be silly. It's just a little train which I drive cautiously. Not too cautiously. Just a little cautiously. But that could change. Tomorrow, next week, or even later today. I could drive it much more aggressively - it's definitely within my skill set. However, there's no timetable to that decision. If I'm honest, I'm trying to wrestle with the takeout menu for lunch today. The menu for lunch that I will purchase and then "take out" -- or should I say "take back" -- to my office. To do my job - which as you can clearly see, I am doing.
I hope I've addressed your concerns - that is, assuming, that I correctly interpreted your words as concerns. If they were just a comment, please disregard this message as it probably isn't germane to what you were getting at.
I hope that clarifies things."
