My sister would say to me, "Can I lend " and offer her up turned hand.
I would reply, "No thank you, I do not need it."

Not a huge thing I've thought about because I don't have any little people in my life that need help with that stuff. However, when I was growing up, my mum told me that if I came across a word I didn't know I should look it up. I read a lot and I still have a dictionary handy for the words I don't know. I'm not afraid to admit I don't know what something means... if in doubt, look it up. wink

I always have a piece of paper tucked inside a book when I read. I write down words if I don't know them, then find out what they mean. I write grammatical and spelling errors on the other side, with the page numbers they appear on. redface I don't know why, because I never do anything about it - but they are supposed to be proof-read, aren't they?
I don't go so far as writing down the grammatical stuff but it does bother me when there are typos and stuff, I mean surely they are proof-read?! Makes me twitch for the author... I know I'd be sending them all back to get it fixed if I had written it! lol
I like words. :mrgreen:
My youngest still has problems with a few basic English words - not because he's thick but because he's been going to Welsh-speaking school since the age of 4 and English is taught as a second language.
Aye Sassy, Minxs kids have been through the same system and find it tough.
Hmm, how about "what I done was."
That's a pet hate of mine- and it's becoming more & more common.
I've mentioned it before, but I recall this conversation with my youngest at the age of 6/7. I had pointed out that she had a very good vocabulary, and knew far more words than most sproglets of her age. She replied;
"what, you mean like phenomenological?"
lol
pheno what confused:
The followers or method of Edmund Husserl.
Very simplified, at the core of Phenomenology is the principle that...oh bugger. I'll try an example lol
There are 5 people in a room. In the room, is a bunch of flowers.
They cheer person one up, because they remind them of their wedding day.
They put person two on edge, because when they were five, they were stung by nettles when they tried to pick some of the flowers. It was the day their mum left & ran off with the milkman...bad memories ensue.
Person three has an allergy to the flowers, and is angry that they were put there.
Person four smells the flowers, and feels instantly horny because it takes them back to an outdoor session they had last summer.
Person five steals the flowers & gives them to their wife, because it's her birthday & he's just been mugged.
Basically, it demonstrates that we all have a different view, based on our own experiences. No two persons experience will ever be the same, so no two people will see things the same.

I prefer Epicurus meself.

Bit o' both really...
but maybe you can nurture your nature, depending upon the scene in your genes?
I think. Occasionally.
Although it has to be said, not thinking has it's merits.
