Nihl L'Amas: Anybody want a cashew? — Subium • Bluesky web client

My informants inform me (I never peek; well, nearly never) that 70 percent of the comments are "Language should absolutely seek its own level EXCEPT THIS WORD." So I've done my job. *dusts off hands*

Opinion | ‘Salacious’ and other words that don’t quite mean what people thinkwapo.st Certain words — “coruscating,” “pulchritude,” “bemused” — don’t mean what many people think they do.

"Language should seek its own level." Yes. Its, not yours. 🫢

There is a part of me that thinks of a younger version of you seeing this scene and finding your calling. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dTRK...

[true confession, because maybe it's time for me to be canceled] I saw that movie once, when it was released, and, Carol Kane and Billy Crystal aside, didn't much (at all) care for it.

And yet a quote from The Princess Bride made its way into your profile. I think you underestimate how much impact the movie had on you.
