There is one (1) habit I’ve taken up that has improved my habits overall in one fell swoop: The 15-minute post-lunch stroll A night owl used to write until the wee hours, I’d wake up bursting with energy and eat my lunch, only to then feel beat (no pun intended) like I hadn’t slept for years. I tried eating lighter lunches, to no avail, for all that did was make me hungry. Recommended by a

What do you think is the opposite of a pro mise? An amateur mise? Just kidding. But I’m not kidding when I say I found that promise is Latin for tell before. In other words, the opposite of tell before is tell after. How come? I guess when English was invented, Deepl hadn’t been invented and translators were hard to find, so those in charge of England decided to keep promise and pronounce it English

Word-users are meaning-seeking creatures. Elephants do not agonize about the elephant condition, worry about the plight of elephants in other parts of the world, or try to see their existence from a different perspective.

When you’ve arrived at the end of your journey, which of the two are you gonna be more proud of?

The wordless that are born wordless and remain that way forever. The wordy that are also born wordless but build schools for the learning of letters, words, and stories. We have a

While artists appear to possess a 7th sense for what’s going on, you don’t need to be an artist for what’s going on in the world to make you sad. 7th sense or not, I was surprised, and still am, to have discovered through my research into the story of words, that the arts predate the invention of words by tens of thousands and hundreds of millions of years. Previous to my research into the

Do animals have morals? When “Do animals have morals?” is asked, I’m puzzled because it’s an animal that asks. Why does an animal ask what animals have? I think it’s because some animals don’t know that there’s two types of animals. The wordless — not to be mistaken for the worthless — categorised by the wordy into an estimated 5 to 7 million different species. The wordy — not to be mistaken for the worthy
