I have never been an adherent of the one-size-fits-all/lowest-common-denominator school of thought. I was brought up to believe that the mark of a true man is that he gives of his best whatever the circumstances. To do otherwise, I was taught, showed a lack of respect.
Consequently the attainment of an above average vocabulary and the wit with which to use it effectively and correctly was once looked on as something to be proud of. My, but how times change!
However, undaunted, I shall continue to exercise my linguistic skills simply
because I can. Anyone who feels affronted or offended by my posts is at liberty to add me to their "Ignore List". I promise I won't be offended.
